Design Critique Pass

Squint or blur the image. Is the value structure clear? Does the focal point read?

Flip it horizontally and look for wonky proportions or tilts.

Fix the flow of the eye, the balance and the cropping.

Fix contrast and colour harmony. Check it in greyscale.

Only now refine edges, textures and highlights, mostly around the focal point.
