Comment from soulfeeder
Beautiful. Pretty expressive, facial expression. Love the prominence of the facial features and textures of the hair and lines in the dress. Great use of light and dark shades. Absolutely, drawn with utmost expertise and techniques. Extraordinaire!

Exactly what I was going for. She must be sharp and the background must be out of focus. This is totally the point and you recognized it. Thank you so much.
