What a great piece.

Having now decided to render the hand, your challenge will be not to allow it to compete with that soft little face. I understand that you have more to add to the hand.

In my opinion, I would greatly reduce the sharpness, reduce the highlights, and try and give the hand a much more subordinated role. The finger touching the side doesn't bother me that much.

I would also add that the image just previous had a wonderful sense of the abstract in your background and peripheral treatment. I hate to see that replaced with a completely literal treatment.
