FULL VIEW PLEASE ! ! !

I have been going at this portrait for about two months now... some parts of this were bugging me to no end, so I kept going back and starting over one too many times. Today I put in another three hours of work and finally told myself to just leave it be before I decided to scrap the whole thing all over again.

This was done in memory of Heath, in remembrance of his beautiful soul and his smile that seemed to captivate everyone.

Bravo...Stunning work indeed.
was it a deliberate ploy to leave the clothing softened so as to enhance his face?
:iconsilentautumnrain:
LOL - I was wondering if anyone would notice... yes, it was deliberate. I had added texture to Heath's clothes, but it seemed to take something away from the picture, so in the end I just deleted that layer and left it as it is now.
