Janet, I know what it is, and it is very subtle! Look at the inner corners of the actual open parts of the eyes. See the little crease that comes down from them toward the nose? They are not lined up exactly in your portrait, though they are in real life. It's very picky, but it will make a difference in how the viewer "reads" the eyes. The "line" or crease of the eye on our left should come down a mite, while the crease on the (our) right is okay, but the bottom lid of the eye right under the tear duct should be slightly higher.

Alex, thanks. I will fix it tomorrow. Right now it's too dark to see, besides I am full of salmon and asparagus. Yum yum. Thanksthanksthanks for everything. I will be up at the crack of dawn (about 8 if I figure rightly) and all over it. Sheesh, I've hear of "games of inches" but we have a game of microns going. Have a good night and thanks again.

Janet

They're baaaack.

I have to confess to being reasonably pleased with this. The acid test is probably putting it away for a bit and looking at it with fresh eyes. It's amazing what you can do with expert advice. Thanks, all.

Janet
