There is a glare showing on the left top section of the hair. I've left out some of the strands of hair on the forehead.

Finished Portrait Scanned

There were some challenges with subject 2, but I'm satisfied with the final result. Click the picture to enlarge.

Finished

This has been a long process with many delays, but I think I'm finally done unless there are requested changes. I will scan the portrait, once it's been approved.
