Mike, when I first saw that photograph I thought is was beautiful, but tricky to do. You have actually done a very good job with it. Your skintones are nice and saturated, important to make the dappled effect work.

What bothers me are the eyes, they are too hard. Squint at your reference, note that the eyes are more integrated to the face, the whites are softer and don't pop out as much and the lines around the eyes are not black but much softer.

Also work a little more on the drawing of the nose, especially her left nostril.

All in all, so far one of your best pieces.

Sincerely,
