The detail work in the shirts/waistcoats and even faces is very nicely done - lot of hard work there!  and the color is purty nice.

The points that come into my mind (just saying for the interest of it - it's not a crit), I would have considered cropping in much closer (prob is the faces would become even harder to do!) and possibly increasing the contrast/light effect. It's nice that they've seen/are looking at something and we can only imagine what!! I would also consider the background very carfeully - vague or detailed, light or dark? It's quite a feat to have done a suject such as this in watercolor! Cheers to you. Jon

Thanks for the constructive comments Joy. The eye bugged me a little too. I will consider the color changes.
