My friend got so many. This venue is quite small and opened to outside. It was a beautiful night and they were all over the place..the band I mean..on stage, outside on the lawn, back inside..over in the corner. It was so great.

This is gorgeous! I love how the colors of the flower makes the color in her eye stand out.

the photo was taked by my daughter who is tall and yes this is difficult for me to do and in paintings lines on childrens faces makes them look old but in the photo there are deep creases and it has given me fits trying to figure out how to get the deep smile lines in, I finally softened them until they are almost gone, I am still not happy with the face of the girl on the rt there is something wrong with her cheek

I think that is a little better

Working this small on something with as many details as your photo would have is so difficult. There just isn't enough room to get a graduated shadow so you end up with the deep looking lines you mentioned. It's a good exercise in figuring out how to use your own judgment for how much detail to leave out. Lightening those lines worked well, I think.

because the creases were so deep they just looked old, so I figured it was better to make adjustments rather than staying true to the ref pic. I am going to give it a rest for a while then take another look at it

Ok! Now I understand the perspective! Y'all were 'inside' and behind your lovely folks is a mirror/reflective window =) From an earlier version, I thought your folks were sitting on a bench on the outside of the building (I'm blonde). The reds and yellow golds are fantastic in this as is your skill! Happy Birthday dear sir!!
