Well, I agree technically this may be your best mini, but you have so many good ones it is hard to say it is your best.
I gave it a 9, the gothic archway didn\'t distract at all (at least for me). I do think that the \'halo\' seems a little rougher than the rest (and I think someone left this comment on your posting) and also the cherub on the right doesn\'t look quite right. Possibly it is the angle of the photo, but it looks like the fleshtone is going too far up on the wing.
Anyhow, minor quibbles. This mini is just so elegant looking, and I love the reds and gold you have done it in.
Pat yourself on the back!
