Hi Patt,

I have attached two pictures, one is an image in which I have changed something in your source-photo. Maybe the original photograph shows these details already but it can go lost in the scan, otherwise this is a way to get more out of certain photographs. I used paint shop pro and used the 'histogram adjustment' to make certain tonal values in the photograph more visible. Nowadays the quality of digital photo-printing-services is very good, one could improve source-photographs this way.

I used the photograph of your painting to show certain problem-areas. I moved the right-eye (for us right) a bit more to the right. (You can see in the vertical white lines there how much it actually moved. He looked a bit cross-eyed to me. The form of the moustache on the left wasn't right I think, See the red line. I missed a bit of hair under his ear. The eye-brow on the left and the shadow of the hat needs some attention I think. Also, the form of skin under his right-eye, as I indicated on your work.

Greetings,
Peter
