Still Frodo the wanderer from the Shire would walk there, upon the grass among elanor and niphredil in fair Lothlorien.
The colour version is underway, but I am busy remodelling the flat
Thumb and the pointing finger seem good , in fact I think you did that part very well!
I think it's the middle- and ring finger pointing more or less straight downward that make the gesture look somewhat weird to me.
I tried to look around, you probably used somethnig like [link] as pose reference? I think the main difference seems to be that those two fingers aren't parallel from knuckle to fingernail and that makes them look just slightly more curled?
In general it was difficult to find a reference with uncurled fingers most people seem to curl the un-pointing fingers in, like for example here [link]
I suppose if you color it, some darker shading will add a little 'curl' to those fingers, move them a more backwards and everything will be fine.
All in all, I admire you for trying a difficult pose ilke that!

You usually mess up a picture if you try to change something like that at this stage. I just thought it would be helpful for future projects.

Bah!
If you look at the overal picture to me it doesn't stand out as such a big problem - it doesn't disrupt the overall feeling or takes away from your message. Only if you center all attention on that mostly technical part, out of the context of the image, then you notice the room for improvement - but your pictures are more than examples of perfect technique, they also capture emotions and ideas.
Keep it in mind for future images, move on and come back to look at it when you've distanced yourself from the mere technical challenge of drawing this. Maybe then you'll see it differently.
