Excellent colour and tone, Dennis, lending an air of mystery. Love it.

It actually reminds me of the Turin Shroud as it has that same misty impression of a face. Very cleverly done and really atmospheric.

A really powerful image Dennis, tremendous expression, glad you didn't overwork it, it's spot on.

Nicely imprecise. Brilliant.

I also thought of the Rembrandt self portrait, is it a pastel?

Just had another look Dennis and it's a good likeness to Clive James, the Aussie.

This portrait is really thought provoking , you have really captured a feeling.

Very nice 3D effect with minimum effort or that's what it looks like.
