[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 50470, member: 6351"] Really excellent work Dave! I would definitely be printing this one up and hanging in on a wall somewhere! You really nailed the most important part of this portrait - her lovely eyes. So very sharp, clear and detailed - just magical looking. The framing is also quite wonderful - you really did a bang up job. A niggle I will add (and I have the same thing happen with my young children) is the little crusties in her nostril are a bit noticeable. However being a child that is certainly no sin! LOL!
