Personally, I am between Shaun and Martha on my opinion. I like the softer lighting effects (ala Shaun) but the greater detail that the direct lighting effect gives, especially on the wrist and clothing, pulls the eye to the focal point a little better. The enhanced vibrance of the background art is not a detraction, which I like. If I had an artistic bone in my body, I would say that the ear lobe is a little too prominent and the palatte could be delineated better from the hair, either by angle or colorization. My vote is 9.8 out of ten. Great work. Love Dad This is really cool – just like the Sunday Funnies “Can you find the six differences in these Pictures”.

The whiter lighting, while lending the painting a bit more realism detracts from the almost whimsical spirit of the original painting. I liked how it appeared as though you were bathed in a yellowish light. It was as though there was an unseen foe just off the side of the paiting that we, the observer could not see, but which to you was all too real. Martha doesn't know what she is talking about. Or maybe I don't... : ) I like the first version better. The whiter lighting, while lending the painting a bit more realism detracts from the almost whimsical spirit of the original painting.
