Thanks Neal. I also thought of her missing facial features, but I was encouraged by the diagonal cut of the bow, her slightly upturned grin, how well the violin filled the frame, and the instrument's robust color. Thanks for your comment. Christopher
At first I thought it was a shame her hair covered her eye, but the more I look at it the more I think that tends to direct attention to the fingers and the bow - it tends to emphasize her concentration. Nice job.
