What a cool pastel rendering, James! A bit of a different style with you this go around. I love the colors behind your subject full of energy, her poise, featuring and detailing as well as pensive gaze back our way. Great shading techniques and lit confident beauty behind her eyes.

I just love this brightly colored portrait you have created! The details are stunning with a wonderful mix of sharp and soft, realism and abstract that is carried through in the outstanding background. Truly beautiful work, very well done!

This different.... I like it..... The girl pops out. Especially her skin tones. The tones and shading a very good, realistic. The texture in the hair is also good. The drawing of the girl, is proportionally correct. The colors in the background bring it together. great job

Sorry I don't have a "6". Beautiful display of the girl with the lovely black dress with touches of white/off-white on, the realism in the legs, heels, face, and hair, along with the unique lovely background.

It's a lovely artwork in pastels. It has such a youthful feel and vibrance. I love this blonde girl striking a pose in high heels. It's not easy to sit like that in high heels but she appears comfortable and confident. The background is nicely crafted as well. Kudos

A very beautiful presentation with such a special background so we can see that this lady is sitting on a dangerous piece in a very high position - your detailed work is stunning, the first impression excellent, the color choice outstanding as well as the natural part with so many forms and color applications
The lady is excellent and fantastic in details, looking again like a normal shot which is stunning - super sharpness, and contrast application - a stunning creation, well presented
