Marina, is it to dark? That mite depend what the goal is. This is my thinking. The shadows are facing the front which in a portrait like this will reveal the details of features. It is not like a face in lite portrait where the shadow can be darker for they are just there. In this portrait it is what is in the shadow that tels the story. If the eye has adjusted and you introduce something that seems un natural then why is it there?

I hope this makes sense?
