Hoping this is where we add the pics. Glad to see a contest here. I love photoart. I also have one without signature if necessary. Some of my clients prefer one, some don't.

Such a pretty child and a great pose to work with.
Here's a higher res image

Edit: The texture looked terrible in the attachment, so I replaced it with a no-texture painting and posted a high res version with the texture on PBase.
