All in all I like it except for the top of head, right palm and forearm. I think those should have been toned down as it is an eye snagger that keeps pulling the eyes up. Nice pose, typical of a classic style evoking a very moody feeling.

Mangles, I really like this. I like all the fabric and its contrasts. Nice shot of a very beautiful older woman. You did her justice.
It's pretty tough to light this with one light from top to bottom without blowing out the pets nearest the light. I assume no pixels there if it's digi?
Also the really weird treatment in her belly are a bit odd. If the had some sags, probably better to see them than make her who she is not!!
Overall, very nice job!

Thank you very much SS
If I could have raised the light maybe a foot that probably would have done the trick, but it was boom mounted and raising or lowering was not and option.

Interesting the commentary on her retouches; much of this has to do (in my mind) what SHE would like to see in the image. Her hair and topmost is a bit burnt but not so much it bugged me. I love the pose, and it does keep you leading up to the top of her head as you traverse the image. Nice work!
