Great piece! Very intense!

A very pwerful, haunting image.

captivating portraits making me realise just how far I have to go..but that's what its all about isn't it?- striving to be as good as we can be

Thanks for the comments. Gill, we all still have along way to go. So many faces, so little time.

I've admired all the works in your gallery, until I got to this one. This is fantastic. It has a real punch to it. Absolutely love it. Very well done.

PS - it scare the hell out of me too!
