Comment from ArtistCarl
I agree with your opinion. Additionally, it is another beautiful example of your skill. While on a computer screen it looks like an incredible photograph, I bet that in real live it is just stunning and no thought about it looking like a photo comes to mind. I like how you gave a little highlight in the background to allow the definition of the hair to be seen. Just a very pleasant work of art to view. Reasons for my five star vote.
