Hi Flladi,

I fully agree with Marvin's comments about toning down the brightness to the right of her head a bit and gently pulling some bg color into the reflected lights. Other than that - I wouldn't touch a thing. Your choice of colors, the expression on her face and your painterly style reminds me very much of Frans Hals whose work I greatly admire.

Happy New Year,
Maryam

Maryam,
I really appreciate your input!
I agree as well with what you pointed out. Marvin is correct again (after all he is my teacher). I am working on those specific areas and should be ready (hopefully) soon!
Frans Hals! Wow! Thank you for even mentioning him here, and he is one of my favorites too.

Happy New Year!
