Dude, love it already, and that's just looking on these crappy work monitors. Will look it over again at home on the iMac.

I envy you and your Pearl!

Like the comp very much, but I'm seeing some weird blue haze on her nose and chin

Might be right... Let me go take a look.

This one, I think is better; not perfect yet, but better. (Thanks, @wev!!)

Much better, Fish!

Yes, better. There is some tricky shading and color going on with her face. I wonder if a verrry soft flash at about shoulder level and three feet out would have helped hold some of that back -- and understand, I know piss all about portraiture.

You're absolutely right about the purple spotting about the nose and chin. I've been hammering at it and this is about the best I can do. You know how when you correct one thing, it makes another stand out? And thanks for the compliments and feedback everyone. I appreciate it!

Okay, FINAL EDIT (for now anyway).
