Energetic pose

Hi, i like the energetic pose - the head and the body turning in opposite directions. In fact, i find that a good painting does have the effect of passing on energy to viewers, like what you've done here.

I also thought that adding abit of "drama" on the face might "bring up the wind" a little stronger - a cast shadow at the turn of her face, on her left forehead downwards. Or even toning done the right side of her face with cooler tones (i take it that the left yellow strip is the primary light source) With these 2 thoughts, i believe it'll help add affirm more to your strengths as a painter.
