When I clicked the link to the source photo,

I was struck by the haunting image. I wanted to try to capture that feeling, while keeping the same parameters as the original puzzle.

If looks best when you step back from the screen.

good image

Thanks, Karl :)

Excellent work Kristen,i think yours captures the look of a young girl in despair more accurately than the winning puzzle did.:)

Thanks for a magnificent entry!

Kristen, this is just wonderful. Thank you.

Thanks, ladies!

So,i'm a lady?,i'll have to let Niki know Kristen.lol:)

Sorry, Al! The two comments I read today were from ladies (granted, this is an assumption on Lollipop's part)

Thank you!

Beautiful puzzle and such a pleasure to solve.

thx for entry from this man

Thanks, Michelle!

Are you sure, Tom? You didn't have a recent surgery we need to know about? ;)

Wow, Kristen. What a fantastic rendition of Robyn's original puzzle! I had a little trouble around her left eye, so I gave it a little higher rating on the Difficulty. Thanks for a great puzzle!

Yeah, it was hard to get her eyes just right, since they were looking off to the side. I used the L key when I got stuck on her eye, and it showed me a dot I had missed.

Fantastic image!

Kristen, you're right: it's getting better and better the more I step back from the monitor. I'm now fifty meters away... :-)

To tell the truth: it is a wonderful picture!

Thanks for the backhanded compliment, Kai! :)

Simply amazing, Kristen

Great title, beautiful image, and enjoyable solve. As much as I liked Robyn's, this is even better!

Smooth solving and beautiful image.
I would have given it 6 stars if a little less shadow on the nose. :¤)

Haha, thanks. I tried it with less shadow, but too many white spots looked weird.

A good nose is a hard thing to do! A little cheating is allowed.

I wanted to avoid an outline of her nose. I had to do a partial outline to make her eye solvable, but I tried to stay true to the photograph.

I respect that. I just spent almost 2 hours on her nose. ;) That's why I don't create many large puzzles, the variations are endless.
I'll stop at this one: http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af278/Kadou_photo/Web%20PbN/annefrank.jpg

Kristen....congrats, we loved the portrait... please answer Q's :P

Congratulations, Kristen. Well deserved!

Thanks, Teresa!

Way to go Kristen!
