Year-end Portrait Challenge

Well, I’m not sure I’m done with this or not–thought I’d sit on it a few days and see what I think…

Here is the original photo. This was a little difficult to work from since it was somewhat washed-out lighting-wize.

Susan, this is a nice looking fellow, but it’s a terrible photo to paint a portrait from. A straight on flash photo doesn’t show any shadows on the face. You did a great job considering this major obstacle.

Terrific portrait – very clean lines and you captured his likeness. Those blue eyes jump out and grab you!
