Nice attractive portrait, but I don't think you've quite captured the
essence of George Hurrell yet.
John, could you elaborate? I'm very curious about what you find missing.
It's been a week or more, and your image just opens a blank new page now.
But, I think it was the shadows or lack there of. Hurrell used a lot of
deep shadow for dramatic effect.
Hurrell was also an extremist when retouching. No flaw was too small for
him to remove it.
