Beautiful lighting! Great definition with the rim/back lighting on the hair and profiles -- really makes the image pop.

beautiful work, Madame, I doff my hat! Such lighting...

There's a lesson to be learned here. You put the creation of a unique and masterful piece of art ahead of any limitations imposed by the source art. The source art became an accomplice -- not a limitation -- to your larger artistic vision...

Then you applied your considerable talent to rendering a fantastic image. Kudos -- I admire you and your artwork tremendously.
