Title: Sitting Pretty

Hi Everyone,

I still have a little final clean up to do but I think it's time to let you all have at it on this one!

Beautiful repairs Mary!
I wonder if the lady's hair hair and hands should be a little darker?

Thanks, Hannie, I will make those corrections!

Couple more suggestions from me - hope I'm not too late! This is a lovely photo. I think her hair has a spit curl on her right, as the little curl end you can see poking out on the other side. Also, I think her lips are a little fuller at the center and rise faster to the edge than you showed.

Take a look at this crop (shown at 200% to make the differences easier to see)

I did also mess with the shadow under her neck a little to make it look more like the original. See what you think

You're not too late, I was hoping you'd chime in Jo Ann!  You're absolutely right about the curl.  I'll fix it and make your other corrections, too.

Thank you!

Mary
