Thank you SO much. It helps to be familiar with it - I drive myself using a collar system, so that and a LOT of patience helped. I wish the image didn't cut off so close to the nose though. There is actually more space in front of that but I didn't realize until after it was already behind glass

Thanks. The details made my eyes spin in circles but I cannot take credit for the composition. It was a photo from the free stock on wet canvas just cannot find who.

This was a photo from the web in which I had permission to use which is important of you are going to be selling the work. I won't take any photo and put the pic up for sale without permission. I have seen too many people getting hurt trough the copyright laws. There is a great site where everything is free for use called public domain image. Here is the link: [link] As I understand the law, it is ok to use anything, even without permission, as long as you are not making money or any other personal gain from it. Wetcanvas.com is another place where it is free to join and the artists post reference pictures for each other to use. Really cool since not everyone has a good camera for taking ref pics. It seems to be such a slippery slope and so easy to accidentally end up on the wrong side. So frustrating. I try to remember that the photographers are working just as hard to get some of these pics and I try to respect that.
