Gonz, portraits are not about channel mixers or tones or this technique or that. Portraits are about emotions. How does the viewer *feel* when looking at a picture of another person. What emotion is there? To me, it doesn't matter one bit how you arrived, but with this picture you have indeed arrived. That's one of the best portraits I have seen on this list, ever. Modesty becomes you, mate. Well done. Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
