Thank you Karin and I see what you are talking about. I have tried the upside-down thing often and the mirror trick many times, but must admit that I looked but never painted that position. The really crazy thing is that when you turn his photo unside down, his mouth actually looks like a perfect smile. In real life, he has a natural frown and very seldom smiles. Since this photo, I have painted on it somewhat and will try to post it later. I softened between the brows, tried to fix the eye and also softeded the throat area. The wife brought another photo to look at. I only wished she would have produced this one at the beginning.

I will get back with photo at a later date.
Thanks mucho.
