Dan,

I have to agree, this is really nicely done! I am amazed at the resolution of detail acheived, but more than that, you have not over-rendered anything, and it all fits together so well. Such a good and sensitive likeness, too. I like you color sense. The only thing from the standpoint of traditional conventions of portrait painting that bothers me a little, is the harsh lighting effect; but it is very interesting and arresting too, due to that. I must say though, that I cannot imagine anyone else getting a more masterful result from the photographic resource you had to work with. I'm in awe.

A belated welcome to the Forum, too!
