Thanks for the comment.

Yes the hand bothered me a bit too. I don't really want to crop it or clone it out because I like the composiion as is.
Ideally I would not have cropped her fingers, but there is not a lot I can do about that now.
In particular I don't like the way the hand appears to be floating. Her arm was a little more visible in the original (below)


So I have done some more work on the image to bring the arm out a little more in the conversion. I know that the hand does divert some attention from her face, but I am okay with that, I think.
Anyway, here is the image with a bit more work. The change is only subtle, but I am happier. - Thanks again for the comment.
