Two portraits

Looking closely at this portrait I took a while ago I see in the eye highlights two reflections one which shouldn't really be there!

Does a portrait change the way that someone is seen by others? Would their friends see a new side they had not recognised before? How about the subject themselves? - would they think of themselves in a new way? Looking at the Tate Gallery portraits you can find the story of George Romney. Once the most famous portraitist in Britain, his work may have changed the course of history. Romney's favourite subject was Emma Hart who later enthralled Horatio Nelson. Do you have good portraits that could be passed to the next generation? - a photo of a family member when she was a young woman?
