Still not dark enough in some areas. Stopped worrying following reference exactly and I had more fun but some will say that's just an excuse for an undeveloped eye and a poor imitation.

This photo has taught me that I'm much afraid to go to the extreme and perhaps that's why Huy, Joe, and Eric were trying to tell me. If I am to continue working with Ansel Adams though, I believe I should try for a small photo since he has so much details in his work.

I believe my main problem is with the water. I need to portray it better and figure out how water meets land. Huy Tran though states that my problem is shape and value and so my next few ones will probably be black and white.

Playing with more colors. Brushing off the rust. Really like the blending on the lips. Need to work on the transition from skin to hair or at least remember them.
