    Default Homage to Van Dongen

    Hard to copy this fellows' style.
    Took lots of tweaking to get similar tones, but still don't think I quite got it. He seemed to have some pink tone which I couldn't quite get.
    Comments Appreciated. Thanks!

    I don't know, Jackie, I think you nailed it. It's so soft and delicate but all the detail is right there below the surface. Lovely!

    Simply beautiful, Jackie. The eye fills in the details. Great treatment. It's such a difficult challenge. But then I guess it wouldn't be a challenge otherwise LOL LOL. Kora

    Love the soft, delicate feel to this, Jackie. Nice color tones and comp. I might lighten the stem a bit as I think that would help enhance the soft feel even more.

    Funny Christopher, I tried that and the shot looked to bland to me. Personal taste I guess. I thought the image needed more contrast. Thanks for the coments everyone.
