Looking good, Mischa!

I like your idea of focusing on people and special moments in their life. Sometimes we forget that small times like this are very special.

Mischa,

Yes, it is a sentimental gesture. It makes me wish I could hug my son

Steven, I really appreciate your ideas and constructive comments. That is what I'm talking about. All constructive comments are appreciated and welcome.

I have no problem when someone uses the image to make a point. This is how we learn. Starring at a fixed point for a while a person gets accustomed and overlooks the obvious.

To the project at hand. I have noted all your suggestions and agree with every one. I am not sure if truly like the color of the t-shirts but being that this is just the working stage it does not present much of a problem. I needed the color of the shirts to give more warmth to the skin tones being that I am considering the light source to be cool.

I will work on the parts we are talking about then if you don

Hi Mischa--
I love the strength of emotion expressed in this. One more thing you might want to watch is the value of dad's far knee . . . it just seems a little on the dark side compared to the near knee and the value of his flesh (hands) in shadow just above. . .

Keep us posted on your progress!
