Hi Steve,

as others have said, it's a lovely, original, engaging portrait.  What
lets it down for me is there's hardly any difference in the skin tones
and the grey of the inflatable thingummybob.  Is it worth playing around
with the channel mix to see if the skin tones could be lightened and the
greys in the thingummybob darkened? This, plus a touch more contrast and
brigtness, may lift it to another level, as you effectively have a
natural vignette to emphasise Soleil's face.

Happy new year
