Just my two cents on the "claw". Seems you've overly-defined the fingers. As they recede, they should probably also fade a bit and the edges could become diffuse. I have a 19th century portrait in my dining room. The woman's hands are the least defined features on the figure. A few brush strokes, and they're done.
Lisa's comments hit the nail on the head as well, but de-emphasize the fingers and they won't be as problematic.
