very well done ........... nice entry ......... all the best to u...........

Brilliant work!

Wow, this background is new for me. It looks nice but imo it doesnt have enough connection with the Mona Lisa self (ML has a lot of dramatic shading, background is way more lighter overall & demands too much attention right now. The original ML has a way softer bg). Is there a way to keep them more together? In case you still feel like to change something, check the other paintings by Vermeer and most of all, check the terrific use of light that he could create (very softly gradients). Good luck!

Thanks Wazo, I understand that and gave it a try, but what I can do is just making the background darker and closer to the tone of Mona Lisa, I don't have much time .

Great attention to detail and wonderfully rendered. GL

Lovely work

Congrats!

Congrats for second!
