Welcome back to CD! I think we all feel a bit drained after 2020. Hopefully, you will feel a lot more inspired this year around with lots of good, creative work produced as a result.
I think that your latest pieces are really solid! Great work on those! I did a bit of overpainting on one of them. The artwork itself was already really great, so I'm not sure I even improved it in any way, but I did get a few ideas looking at it.
Basically, I think there may be some conflicting interests in the image. You have a lot of hard edges and contrast in values on several areas of the image, so I tried to soften a few edges, add a small vignette, and tried to bring a bit more contrast to the face area where I presume the focal point is at. It's just a few suggestions and experiments, so feel free to use it or not! :)
