There seems something "strange" with the colouring on this one - does anyone know why?

Also is that a mark on her hair or is it a feather or just the style?

Now back to playing with it!  ;)

Hi Keith,
    I took that as being a feather I don't know if you guys agree or not.

    Mike, that is fantastic many thanks.

   Kali, I love what you have done with her dress that just looks "Right" to me.
