She has a detached, polite smile. The kind you make when someone calls your name; you look over your shoulder but you don't quite recognize the person. She is looking and listening, trying to understand something. Or perhaps she is watching television, and does not fully comprehending what's going on. She's definitely not telling someone what to do.
Even old, a queen should look like she's on a mission. Focused, fierce and smart. A ruler should have eyes that see beyond the moment. Rulers don't smile.
Her face is too big while her neck is too short and fat which makes her look like an ordinary, elderly person.
Time to change.
Spoken like a true american! Freedom is sweet. :p

In my opinion, each Realm that uses portraits of QE2 ought to have their own, preferably done by an artist of that nation. The Commonwealth has evolved way beyond the time when we were colonies, emulating the Mother-Country.
That seems to be happening with our coins. I think it has to be that way now. The colonial ties are history today.
