I agreed with Christine's comment about the eyes. So now slightly larger.

I like the way you've done the hair and the openwork on the dress looks very good. But I think the eyes look a bit small, no offence just my opinion.

Steve, She has a very hypnotic effect on me with those deep blue eyes.
I especially like the lips.
To me the hair is outstanding. The blend on the forehead and side of the face looks so natural.
And the fine strands add to the natural look.
I tried to make a hair brush once and failed badly.

Christine:

Thanks for the comments - I think you were right about the eyes. Now changed.
Christine I don't take offence; without constructive comments I don't think any of us will improve.

Matt:

With your incredible last submissions to the site, I feel honoured to receive your comments.

I was lucky on the lips; my wife was standing behind me when I was doing the lips, she told me which colour looked best.
This stoney creature has got the longest nose I've ever seen.

Oh by the way Matt, I think I've got a spare hair brush somewhere if your that desperate

!!!!!!

Thanks to you both
Steve.

Thanks Twinb.

Not sure whether that means good or bad.

GOOD, GOOD ---- LOL --- sorry, I really like the soft, wispy look you got. This was a hard image to get a soft look with.
