Thanks for the comments so far folks!
@Treide- I know the face is terrible... I must have re-worked it ten times before I gave up. I may go back to it!
@Schmackeroo- Not sure that I\'m totally understanding you, but think I am... my latest WIP is involving working up from black rather than down from white.. and that probably doesn\'t make sense either!!
@vincegamer- the difference between the pics is that the sun was out for one... I know I need to work on my photography too
Keep the comments coming folks, they really are very helpful to a novice like me
