Terrific return, Ive... the only clue that this isn't real are the hands,
too big perhaps. But the face is amazing: looking at her eyes it's difficult
to believe this is not a living person.

I think it is technically perfect. Glacial atmosphere. Sublime.

That's truly fantastic!
The only (small) criticism I have is about composition :
I'd feel better if she had more room in front of her than behind.

Impressive. Only criticism is that hands and arms, to a lesser extent, look
awkward. Left hand should make an S along the fingers and be more or less
flat across. Fingers on right hand look too straight

From a true Myrna fan: Splendid work! The image does a remarkable job of
conveying her complex character. It shows someone who has strength, charm and
humor all at once. Thank you for sharing this.

Great image and one of the best use of a Poser model I've seen!

Absolutely great image, (astonishing even). I don't know about Myrna,
but whoever she is, you're showing her in a good light.
