All the best,

Priti, VERY, VERY nice. The only thing that I notice is that his head doesn't appear to be as "outlined" as the rest of him, and so it's presence isn't as strong, but I feel that his expression should be the focal point, so the head should be outlined like the rest. What do you think?

Thank you Jim, i thought i was good at flowers, after this one i might have to try more statues.
Thanks Kathy.
Kim, you are right about the face being the focal point- but i did not want to take away the serenity from the face by making it too dark- maybe just the back of his head could use some dark green. I will try it, thanks.

Thanks Suna.
Kim i darkened the back of his head and it did make a difference. Thanks for the tip.

Being a Buddhist I feel the urge to recite the "Homage to the Buddha" "Namo tassa bhagavato arahato samma-sambuddhassa." (Three times} Homage to the Blessed One, the Worthy One,the Rightly Self-awakened One. Very well done Priti. I was ordained a Buddhist bhikkhu (monk). I tried to attach my ordination document unsuccessfully.
