    Gorgeous!!

    I love the way her right earring balances the bit of light on the top left side of her hair.

    The only thing I miss is a bit of a catch light in her right eye.

    Great entry.

    Okay, so I used the clone tool to add the catchlight to the right eye. Is this better? Is it worth switching my entry?

    I think the new catchlight really enhanced this lovely portrait!

    That catchlight makes all the difference. I was missing it, too. Definitely worth switching, in my opinion. thumb.gif

    If you want to be a bit more subtle in the pp department, you can fade the new catch light a bit, but I don't think you need to.

    It is a lovely portrait.
