   Gee thanks @Virginia! Honestly though, I'm trying to find a balance between the two styles, one too sparse, the other too rendered. Perhaps this can be solved digitally though… Still experimenting :)

   Does there have to be a balance? I think pushing both styles to their limits would be a better path, one that might naturally converge. I actually look forward to seeing both forms in your shots.

    Both are equally good even though they're different! Even the more minimal style of the portrait looks to have a lot of lovely detail in it. And the more rendered scene makes me want to know what she's up to.......
