I really enjoy this as a monochromatic piece, but when I opened the work larger I noticed that your lights and darks could be pushed a bit more. I really think it would a depth and character if pushed subtly...I realize that the reasoning for the moon being muted is to push your focal point to the girl's face, but if you lean towards realism the moon is a reflection of sunlight, without clouds, this would be a pale white(orange, red, depends on the time of year). If you give yourself two light sources (one being the moon and the other being a unseen source infront of the girl) it can really make this piece pop a little more. Taking the light source to the eyes and nose of the skull, it will make it look less like color and more like light. The meekness in color and light is why I rated the impact a 3. It is something I struggle with myself.

I must mention, this is beautiful. I love your line quality, the details in the metacarpals and flanges. the details are very nice. I like how her hair kind of mimics the movement of the webs in her details....I could go on about my love of details in this....but I digress.
