What a wonderful portrait. You have captured not only the surface appearance, but a sense of life and personality.

Thank you so much, Linda! I actually did work even more on Falen's face after taking this photo to really capture her youthful countenance. Considering her face is only one inch wide in this portrait, every tiny alteration changed her expression, so it took my maximum concertration and steadiness of hand. Thank you for your lovely compliment! Jeanne
