Now what?

Thank you, Jimmie and Chris. But, gosh, now what do I do? Such a difference of opinion!

I agree with Jimmy that the hair is much too light, mainly on (our) left side, where it should be darker against the background. And I do feel there are value issues, or wouldn't have pressed for feedback.

I'm toying with the idea of lightening up the background a tad just to avoid what to me feels like a "cut out" appearance. I would have to use pastel to do it, though, since it is really ground in there - pastel/pencil mix.
