We tried to take some more this morning, and while they were better than the first batch on a whole..this one is the best of her face and expression. And the one the mom likes the most.

So I'm moving forward with this one. Like I said the original goal was to do just the head and shoulders, no background. Then I considered the whole image, and so on.

Lisa, I think I will try your suggestion, I can always add the shoulders if we think it needs it and just not make that other sleeve so poofy, I do agree that her hands might be hard to do, so Im all for nixing that idea.

Im leaving for the beach tomorrow for a much needed break and will be starting this one Monday, so if anyone has any brilliant ideas please share.
