I showed him(the plastic surgeon) pictures of little Grace. But Camille looks like little Steph. Just because Grace and Camille have similar colors it doesn't mean that they look alike. I know that a lot of people want that but it simply didn't happened. Sorry, certain things are not a matter of opinion. It is for us, but not for him. I have a collage of little Camille/steph that I'll post later.[/QUOTE]
Renats, it is true that bone structure and the shape of individual features can be analysed by professionals and considered objectively. This is something you remind us of on a regular basis, and it is an important point. Though I would caution that how ultimately definitive a plastic surgeon can be working only from photographs; but I know you're well aware of this and would never argue otherwise.
Anyhow, my point is that that's not the only kind of resemblance that exists. Resemblance of facial expressions is equally important in one person bringing another strongly to mind. One's various facial expressions (and we all have dozens and dozens) create our "look" just as much as our basic facial structure does. They can even make individual features look different from moment to moment, and they Certainly create very powerful impressions with more than one feature acting in concert to resemble someone else.
Take Charlotte, for example. Several of her smiles are the living image of her father, and make her look incredibly like him. She has a big part of her bone structure inherited directly from him as well; as much as what she has from Caroline -- but that's another topic.
