WOW! That looks great! I like the background! Her eyes...oooOOOooooo....piercing! Good job little grasshopper. :o)b

My honest opinion, I like her in the blue blouse picture. Hair more natural looking and she wears less make up. Pretty girl. Aloha

First impression was WOW! That's what this site is all about...pushing the limits of your abilities. I think this is sublime, looks like a painting to me...I can see how much went into this image to get it to this point...much work my friend. I for one love this one! Aloha to you!

Beautiful!!!!The hair is angelic and the eyes are captivating.Great job! I admit I thought the background color an odd choice at first, but the more I look at it the more it fits.I'll go look at the original now. :)

Beautiful picture! WOW!

Lovely composition Andreas, superb portrait, what magnificent eyes. Well done indeed!!

Well done, her eyes are beautiful. you captured her perfectly):):):):):):)

classic! what a sweetie!

really think you did a fantastic job here andreas!!! she is exquisite & the background was the best of the lot, only you needed to make that decision & not anyone else... i feel ecspecially close to this stunning work!! :]

I love what you have done. The red brightened up the image immensely and adding some red to those sweet rosebud lips added more drama .. Dont change a thing. Nice work ....

Ciao Andreas. For a first one, it's really a beautiful portrait, and an excellent work, and Klara is a very pretty girl, with incredibles eyes (the real ones and these...). It's difficult to make portraits. I've never try to make a portrait of someone I don't know very well. It's something very personnal, and often I don't make them because it's like to take something to someone.... I'm probably more complicate ;-))) Have a nice night. Nathalie

I think you're doing just fantastic. You turned a simple snap, (I can say that being an ex-professional,) into what looks like a modern-style classic. Very cool and contemporary look! -jay

You have done an excellent job here. First I thought it is a painting. A really beautiful portrait. Love the background too.

Oh wow such bright eyes! What a great shot.

Oh my, she's adorable! Great portrait, Andreas! Gorgeous work on the background, I like the colouring very much as it goes perfect with the her hair. It's warm and not that strong like a black background.

I am so proud of my baby bro! I think it's very good. Ah but then again I am your sissy. ;) Lots of huggles~

une vrai merveille!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
