This portrait took me about 2 hours to finish. Again, trying to improve my control over colours. Let me know what you think!

Well Done! You are skillfully honing your colour ability and the subtleness of tints and hues involved in portraits!

I appreciate the kind words!
I don’t see an uploaded image with Firefox on Linux. Is this a problem for anyone else?
Ahhh… Opera shows me the uploaded painting.
@raghukamath This has started happening fairly recently for some people with some topics.

Very good!
A few observations:
Compared to the photo, your version looks a bit anemic. If it’s a stylistic choice, that’s fine. Otherwise, maybe bring up the saturation a bit and perhaps shift the hue slightly more to the red.
Example
Also, I’d lighten up his frown. The photo doesn’t look as annoyed. And the frown wrinkles aren’t centered over the nose.

@AhabGreybeard Maybe a problem with the browser cache? Tried reloading the page holding ctrl?
@Bleke Ctrl + reload didn’t work. Did a full power down restart then cleared cookies and cache from the Settings menu then opened the forum. Still no painting and I can see many other uploaded images.
It’s peculiar 
I’ve had the same about a year ago. Moved a post out of the gallery thinking it was a joke post and later it turned out only I didn’t see the upload.
I can see this one though, also using Firefox on Linux.
May be the issue with network for me this has not happened yet. I’ll check if hetzner servers have any issue. Ultimately we would need to switch to CDN’s
If you can check the network or the post by inspect element in firefox. it will show if the image is loaded or not.
@raghukamath last time it occurred to me, there was not image markup element in document source
But other people were able to see the artwork…
For this one it’s ok on my side
