Yeah thats true. The Cheadle portrait isnt good at all. I love the pose of this one and it could be a real winner if the paint apps are good.
That's a HUGE if...btw, yours looks ok but I still couldn't have lived with that. People say a lot of photos are taken too close but when I notice improper paint apps, I can see them from at least a few feet away which would bug me for something I just dropped $400 on.
