About that ear...




Hi Denise,

I wanted to add one more note about the ear. It looks to me as if there may be a "fish-eye" type of distortion in the reference photo. If you are too close, or use too short a lens, the photo will often exaggerate the perspective in features, i.e., the nose larger than it should be, the ears (because the perspective is distorted)smaller, etc.. I agree that the reference photo shows a small ear, however, the reference photo itself can sometimes be distorted.
