This started as a portrait taken from a magazine for some practice. I liked the pose as it made me think of Joan of Arc, gazing up for inspiration.

This has been on and off since just after christmas and I've got to a point where I'm pushing pixels around!

Any crits and comments are very welcome, just want to improve.

I also need feedback as I got a new LCD monitor which made my other work look very off. So I'm not sure if my old CRT monitors contrast was shot, or the new one is too bright...

Thanks
