This is absolutely not messed about with.. Perfect positioning of my angle-poise at 2am one recent morning... Bugger is I moved it before I'd looked at the image and I have no idea how I got it so right. Fluke. Of course if it was a painting I'd be telling the artist that he needs to totally re-paint that left eye... it's in the wrong place!

Beautiful portrait !! finbarr · 2012-08-02: 02:56
