Hi Hera, its a tough one, I can imagine the problems you were having trying to get the contrast right. Personally, I think you've upped the contrast too much. The dog on the wall needs to be a more prominent part of the picture than your edit allows because Buffy is supposed to be imitating his stance, but you can't see the dog so well because he's now partly whited-out (is that a word?) I also think the loss of grain kind of divorces Buffy from her surroundings. But its all subjective ... I'd have kept some of the grain in the picture by meeting you half way with the contrast. Not easy though with the light on the wall.
