"Monica"

[Gisele Zeitler]

Thank you so much, Tom and Chris! This is what I was hoping for: to have someone draw attention to something I wasn't seeing. Maybe it's because I know Monica so well that the entire composition of the photo eluded me. My eyes are always drawn to her! The "white blob" (a bit of sky) will certainly be toned down, or redistributed, as you both suggest. I saw what you meant when I covered it with my hand, Chris, the composition was definitely off-balance. So I'll play with those pieces of sky, and put up the results on the critique area of this forum. I believe that's where painted progress reports belong.

Thanks again, and any other comments are welcome, too!
