Watching you create this gorgeous image (especially in hi speed!!) was such fun! When you added the black, she jumped out. In the movie, she said "every year I grow older & less attractive" Barnabas (John Depp) replies "than you must have been the most beautiful creature of all time..." words to that affect.. You did her dark beauty justice. Thanks, and congrats on an amazing job!!!
