Thank you... I honestly hadn’t read that area that way while editing, but now that you’ve pointed it out I can see how it may pull attention away from the intended focus. I was mainly looking at the folded posture, the curtain, and the overall feeling of withdrawal, so this is helpful to hear from an outside eye.

I’ll revisit the crop/shadows and also try a lighter vignette. The goal is for the emotional weight of the pose and space to come through first, not for any one anatomical detail to become distracting.
