Thanks everyone, all excellent suggestions. Steven, I think you're right about that tone - I'll see about softening it a little. I'm just a little wary, as I have a bit of a bad history of post hoc adjustments going grimly awry!

Just a lightening and softening, Lewis. Nothing drastic. I think it would pull the visual attention right back to the excellent rendition of the facial features.
