If you did, there's a couple of spots where you accidently got some red paint on there. Just go back and touch them up with the flesh. Sometimes I think the difference between a good paint job and a bad one is simply patience and perserverence, the willingness to go back and correct mistakes as many times as is needed until it looks right. I've had times when I had to re-do a mistake 5, 8, 10 times or more. I look back at my earlier teams and I realise that the main difference between now and then is that I'm a lot more patient now. Keep up the good work. It will only get better and better. By the way, I think you're a much better painter than you are a photographer. Turn the flash off and manually focus.
Thanks for all of the advice. Especially about the photography. LOL
