This could be done, or could be not, I am not sure. If you give me feedback, I appreciate it.

I like it the way it is. I really like how the hand has more detail than the rest of the picture. The only thing I might suggest is adding a little more detail to the fingertips of the other hand. Nice job!

I agree, the hand in the front needs more detail, because the other hand has detail. The pastel strokes are beautifully done. The corner of the hat and the little blue under it will look better if it is dark brown, for my opinion. The dark brown, cutting the paper in half, disturbes me. Needs more dark somewhere to balance it.--- Suna.

I agree with what Suna and Kathy said except that I believe just a LITTLE bit more detail could be added to a portion of the cello (the area where the player's left hand would be nice) so the hands and cello are like a unit focal point instead of just the hands. I wouldn't add any more detail because I think Kathy is right - it's appealing to not have everything detailed.

I think the only thing you need to fix here is the right hand, it looks like its anatomical problem, the rest of its really good, I don't agree with the comments above that you should fix the other stuff, the pastel has a nice flow to it the way it is.

Congratulations - Very evocative image that does not tire. Finished as is, for me. Something not quite right about the right hand, but not sure what!
