  1. It's complete.
    I really like the how the tones dance on the hair ~and how the back-light supports the head and shoulders; really pops the form. The simple background sets the mood well also.

  4. Alice, this is a just beautiful! The warm colors, lighting, and softened brush marks enhance the feeling of this quiet composition. I like the shift in color in the background, too. Frame it!
