I went into the shop today and asked what they thought and how we can make it look better.

Their response was similar, in that in a week or so the darkness will lighten up as it heals. I am just disappointed with the whole image really. Think it looks tacky and certain elements, such as the face, the wings and her hand on her chest are not clear at all.

Guessing once it has healed then I can go and have further work to highlight parts?
