The main thing letting this what I consider to be a great miniature, specially the garden is the picture quality (namely dark + graininess) so I'd put the low marks mainly down to that and not be downhearted :)
i like this one!! clean work and nice colours!!:) but i miss some highlights and shades on that one! the face looks good but a better pic would be workin better:)!! the base is realy nice also the freehands!!:)
