Not talking about the background, just the figure.... The eyes and the arm are the only two items on the figure that make this figure look like a model, not photo-realistic. Other than that, I think you've done a GREAT JOB here. Great hair great smile, and I think the background looks very "art-deco-cool", myself. Pumps up the image because it's different! And that's my opinion. Cheers! Pam
