Great Work. I have seen some incredible hyperrealistic pieces in person before and I could never put my finger on what it was that made them so interesting. Reading your post I saw you point out "those little flaws that make the painting look just a tiny bit different than the photograph are so nice to look at!", and now I understand. Its like my disbelief was shut off for a few moments when I viewed the art and I did not understand that I was in fact looking at a piece of art. But then you know that it is different somehow than a photograph and your mind flips back and forth from disbelief to full awareness. I think the best pieces of hyperrealism create this effect in the viewer at such a rate that it generates almost a palpable and satisfying vibration within the mind.

Great work.
