Hi Chris, and welcome. Hmm. My immediate thought when I saw this? I saw it with religious undertones. Why? The tone of the lighting suggesting candlelight like an altar, because of the chin tilting up and the expression of the mouth....no expectation, no suprise, more peace than anything... which for me is unusual, coz I'm about the least religious person I know... A good piece. Not sure about the hair though ;) he he he (",)
