i'm so sorry... but anyways, about the pic... good for your first pic! you got a good sense of difference in color on the background, and the texture of the hair is great. i would suggest that next time you try dark and light shading on the person - you know, if you had a light source, where would be darker, where would be lighter. don't worry, i had a problem with that on my first pictures as well, and i still do have trouble with it! practise makes perfect! *wink* keep it up!
