I darken the figure so it gives it a more "mysterious" vibe, increased the contrast and the lighting in the background. I changed the silhouette for the scarf but I do recommend playing with the silhouette more so it is easier to read, since the whole thing has a lot of dark on dark. I used rim lighting to bring out the figure silhouette more but the shape is still kinda hard to read because of the pose. I lightened the parts in the background around the legs area to make the shape easier to read. Also I made the head size smaller since that's what you pointed out and added a bit more contrast and highlight around the face area to pull more focus on it. Overall this piece is a bit more challenging cause of the limited shade range you have but it's definitely fun to figure out how to work within it.
This was really helpful thanks. I'm starting to realize I don't push my lights and darkness hard enough so I'll work on it.
