| i just have to say that this was the first portrait that i saw on DPC a year or two ago that really made my jaw drop! i had no idea then, how to create an image as stunning as this one. i can say i've gotten a little closer but none of my portraits compare to this. amazing image, congrats on such a great portrait. |

| Beautiful portrait and the colors are superb. I also like how her face is the brightest. I do however think that placement of the hands could be better as her left hand blocks a good part of her lips and seems a bit awkward, and the right shows the back of her hand. Still, an exceptional image. Congratulations on your first ribbon! |
