eyes: blue
hair: mid brown

background: australian bush colours . for assistance with background ive posted a typical australian bush scene.
Thank you in anticipation !!!

I can't really do colour and think it would be quite hard with an out-of-focus image like this, but I think it could look so much better with the horizon straight and expanded a bit so it isn't so cramped, anyway hope you like it:
