A quick point, the "going away hand" looks dimensional and in proportion, but the hand closest to us might be too large. I think you are looking at a photo distortion. The distance from the inside wrist to the end of the middle finger is equal to the distance from the chin to the hair line in most people. If you take into account foreshortening of the hand, you can see where there might need to be a size adjustment.

P.S., The distance from the wrist to the middle finger the longest distance in the hand, and the gesture of the hand is also shown in the wrist to the middle finger (...actually, the shoulder to the middle finger...). That gestural flow to the middle finger is extremely important.
