La Femme can be tricky to create likenesses with, that is unless you do it in an external app with normals and stuff. I think V4 would be your best bet.
I don't mind critique at all, I went to a school with end of assignment critique sessions. Of course one is always free to disagree with the critique, keeping in mind the points made.
I was never really good with likeness capture, better at creating my own thing. I used to hang with some photorealist painters... They would comment that they couldn't do what I do. Everything from imagination. I do look quite a bit a photos though, but just as a guideline. I eventually ended up doing my major Sculpture/minor Painting. The place that I attended, SFAI, had a strong emphasis on either minimalist painting, photorealism, or abstraction. Those were the major camps. I was into Kitsch, Lowbrow, Pop Surrealism, and a bit of the grotesque range of Northern Renaissance painting. In a nutshell. I ended up finding a sympatico thing in the ceramics branch of the Sculpture department. The bay area being notable for the Funk Ceramics movement. I studied mostly under a guy who was a prop and set design head on the tv show 'Pee Wee's Playhouse'
Anyway. Told you I get meandering.
