What "magic" needs to be done? It looks quite fine as is.

Thanks, something doesn't look right to me, but if the group here is happy, then I'm ok! ;D

Tom -

In the very lower left of the "I", there is a remaining piece of the lower door track that probably should be removed.

Good work.

The eye's are misaligned and the chin is disproportionate (both like the original). If it we're me I'd PS them both to correct it to make its outward appearance to unknowing people pleasing to their visual reception/perception etc. But at the same token then you're changing the original work and wouldn't be "prototypically" correct.

I tend to agree. But if someone wanted to present a more aesthetically pleasing version of her face, and was not worried about prototypical fidelity, then what I'd do is shop the original photo (flip and process colors) instead of try to correct the graf. Be happy to do it if someone wants.

I'll be interested to see what David can do with modifying the original so it looks like someone painted it!

For me, just moving the eye a little bit was enough not to make it look goofy.

Be sure to hit refresh--I also shifted the whole image to the left so that the right corner edge of the H wasn't sliced off.
