Konoha Daylight: Sakura

I want to comment on both pictures of this theme. First of all, the background with the leafs blowing in the wind fits pretty well. This together with the expression it gives a rather... silent, calm, surprised and even a bit melancholic feeling. The face is basically well done, I'm still not satisfied with the noses you did on both pictures, here it works mostly but the one in Naruto's picture is very very distracting. The lips aren't perfect but I think they fit well. Can I see a chin there? I love such details, maybe if you keep on working them out, it could improve your pictures "flavor". The eyes here are very well done, the hair seems pretty good too. This here is all in all a good work I like to look at. Please continue. -Ivan
