Steve,

This is an amazing, luminous portrait. Congratulations! Your expertise in value management has captivated me. Your solution is so elegant and deceptively simple. I am studying how you have his white hair glowing into the surrrounding foliage. That is so effective. I second Tom, Marina, and Alex's words and praise!

Thanks Garth. Coming from the master of values that's quite a compliment. Funny that you picked up on the white hair. I think I had more fun with that area than any other part.

This is a beautiful portrait. I love the simplicity and the color harmony and the angle that we are looking at the subject as well. Amazing execution. Thank you for sharing this.

Steve, thanks for posting this, there's a lot ot be learned.
I like the halo effect of his white hair, it gives him even more dignity and authority. The handling is also very effective
