In viewing this photo of it, I really like the loose, somewhat 'blocky' look of the hands and really, most everything except the candle & face. I think, when a stylized approach is done well, it looks great. I feel as though there is just enough form in those hands, shirt etc to easily allow the viewer to know what they are; then allow their eyes to quickly move to the subjects face.
I think its a nice job youve done here. Now get us a better picture next time!
Just be sure to NOT compress the jpg when you save it. you can still meet the pixel requirements here and keep the quality of your image reasonably high.
