I know what you mean. Here it is with just a bit of added definition, no other edit at 100% from the RAW file:



Her whole head is behind the curtain, her hair covers most of her right side of her face. We just see her mouth above the locks of hair that cover the chin. Her nose looks odd because it in contact with the fabric and causing a shadow on the fabric.

I'm sure that clears it up.

We are seeing her left eye (on the right for the viewer), that upper quadrant of her face and the rest is covered by a sweep of her hair. Does that help? :-)
