Chilled Version 2 by Chris Downing

I find this one more dynamic somehow; it's a personal taste thing. Like you say, let the owner decide!

This is really lovely - can't decide between them but I agree with Gudrun that this one is definitely more dynamic - may be something to do with the tilt of the head or the look in the eye which works better in this one.

Just gone back again and I can see what it is now. The face is sharper and is more compelling in this one and the addition of the dark behind the head is miles better.

Yes, I agree with the others here. This one has a more interesting background making the picture more balanced somehow.

Both are great but I prefer this one, maybe because there is more contrast in this one.

Thank you Gudrun, Thea, Val, Kevin and Ros for your valuable comments. They are very much appreciated. Gudrun, I think you are right, I will show the owner and let her decide.

Great portrait, agreed with the above, for my taste, I prefer this one. The tonal contrast is stronger and the lines sharper. I think the owner will be well pleased.

Thanks for your input Peter

I think this one. It has more warmth and the background works better for me. Whichever one the buyer chooses they will be getting a great portrait.

Thanks for your input Dawn
