I think this would make a wonderful painting. My only suggestion would be to pull her a bit more to our left in the frame.

Good point Mike,
I re-worked it in Photoshop and you are absolutely right.
See, I knew I needed more eyes. I just didn't think it would be to point out something SO obvious.
Thanks.

Gorgeous! I'd also put quite a bit more background around her, in addition to Mike's suggestion.

Beautiful reference, Janel. I'd take everyone's advice and paint it in a heartbeat.

Jean, Michele and Chris,
Thank you, thank you and thank you so much. I felt pretty good about it prior to posting, but it still feels wonderful to know that others have favorable opinions about it as well. I will go with the suggestions made for more background from Michele and an itty bitty move to the left from Mike.
Keep your peepers open for the results coming soon.
Thanks again!!

I just want to say that after seeing this I realize I need to get better in Photoshop! How in the world does everyone get such great references from different shots? When I try to put mine together you see all the edges. I've got a laptop with a touchpad instead of a mouse - wonder if that's it?
