I just had to come and look at this again. THIS is how official portraits should be done. It has everything: pleasant expression, perfect drawing, balanced composition, color unity, etc. What more can I say? Can I be you when I grow up?

Way to go!
Beautiful! It has great realism without appearing photographic, a rare trait indeed, these days. I really love the subtlety of the color scheme, a wonderful example of less being more. Bravo.

Thanks a lot, guys.
Michele--He's been at Annapolis since last fall. The missile image came as a part of the job specs--a good part of the Admiral's career was devoted to developing and implementing missile defense systems--and the dicey part was figuring out how to get it in without it taking over. I'm pleased you think this aspect is successful.
Marvin--I really appreciate it. I'm handling backgrounds better since you dissected the Ingres for us.
Best--TE
