Mike,

I told you in the other thread that I love this painting. I do have a couple things I have just seen that bother me a tiny bit. In the reference photo she has a clear jaw line, even though that last curl seems to blend into it. In your close-up the shadow under that curl that meets the jaw and neck is not as strong, so in the painting the jawline does not seem as well-defined. It kinda makes her look like she has a weak jaw line which makes her look different to me. The only other thing is the sequins, those are the first thing I notice striaght away. Maybe tone them down?
