Ignoring 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.

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. |
