I like it, James. The values are looking good.

As for critique, my screen shows quite a bit of "optical red" around face and hands - perhaps more than is needed - to me, the glow is so pronounced that it becomes somewhat distracting.

It has this in its favor or not in its favor, depending upon one's viewpoint for what one wants in a commission : it is quite casual and uses a profile, which is not the usual type of portrait someone would buy. But that sets it apart, too....
