  3. Thanks to both of you! This one did come out really well didn't it? That's largely because of the picture I was working from - look up 'pictorialist portrait' if you don't already know about these guys and their amazing work. They were trying to make photos that could compete with paintings. Plus I applied some of the things I was learning from the landscape studies - in particular the overall texture layer that seems to give a sense of cohesion and subtle complexity.
