 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20978904Ignoring your feelings about the monarchy  , do you like what he's done? It's certainly one of the better portraits I've seen, especially when it comes to the Royals. I can't see much wrong with it. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

It's not bad, but not exactly flattering either - it makes her look older than her years with the lines under her eyes. Probably accurate, but you'd expect a bit of artistic licence there!

I was just thinking that. The bags under her eyes make her look as though she's been up all night.

It's all right until your cover up the rest of it and just look at her face. It turns into Queen Liz.

I can't help but think, that in the age of photography, a painted portrait should be about far more than simply accurately capturing a person's likeness.

I recognise it as her but taken about 10 years from now.

I quite like it technically, but it looks more like an illustration than a portrait. Perhaps a book cover. She also looks old.

I would not say that but she looks like she is greying in the picture. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21
