Mischa, Tricia,
Thank you very much for your comments. What I'd like to achieve with this painting is a finished 'professional' looking painting. So far I was not able to get that look yet.

Tricia, I think that when photo is taken from not too close to the object with a tele lens (rather than wide angle lens) the distortions are not a problem. It is most likely the problem with my rendering. I worked a bit on the arm and hands. I will work some more and post the result later.

Mischa, I think I understand what you meant about soft and hard edges. I am not sure though that I can see the problem with lost and found edges. It would be most helpful for me if you could indicate a few 'problem areas'.
Thank you again for your advise,
Iakov
