Hi Beth,

I have the feeling that the mouth is too much placed too the left, but I'm not sure, since the source-photographs are so small on my monitor.

Does painting the piece not become too much of a juggling-act between the different source-photographs? - The procedure of making an underexposed and an overexposed photograph may create too much of an excuse to 'not get it right' in the actual photograph. (the others then have the same problem, only under- and overexposed)

Personally, I like to have just one good source-photograph in colour, which I feel is absolutely right in the pose, lighting etcetera.

In this case (back to school) I have the feeling that the shadows are too dark in the actual source-photograph, and that it may have been better if more direct light had reached the right side of ther face.

Peter
