Michael, Michele, and Mike!
Thank you all for taking the time to check out my portrait.
Please accept my apologies for my delayed response: the subject portrayed here, my daughter, was sick these past few days and I haven't had a chance to visit the site

Michael, your comments are dead on! The portrait really is off-balance. Thank you for your observation and pointing it out. Thank you also for doing a little work on Photoshop to show me how to resolve the issue: I am considering cropping, although, as you thought, I'd hate to do that to the painting. Maybe i can try to salvage it by adding an object where Sara is leaning against. Will have to try it and see how it looks.

Mike. as you pointed out, I'll continue working on the portrait and try to straighten out the issue with the balance as well as fixing the hands, and some other areas that need a little work. Thank you!

All the best to you!
