Hello Stephen-Excellent work on the dsfdf photo, I really like the bold background, it along with your beautiful brushstrokes, add a lot of interest to the subject. In addition to this painting, I enjoyed taking a look at your other paintings; I look forward to seeing more of your work.
You did well for the your first step in to the club.

Well done, Stephen! Great figure. I like the red in the background and the bold strokes in the corners.
