Thanks for your feedback Wilba!

No worries.

The hand is quite dark, too - most of my time was spent trying to correct the white balance when merging the images, particularly of the shadow beneath the hand/pencil - for some reason, the paper of beneath my daughter's hand was quite blue-tinted. When I tried lightening my daughter's hand, it actually seemed to increase the dis-congruity between the images, at least to me.

Sounds like you need to treat the shadow and the hand differently. Can you do masking on layers in your editor?

Finally, the hand was actually her right hand - I flipped it around so that the portrait appears to be looking at it! That's okay, though - I won't tell anyone if you don't

Oh. I'm much less impressed now.
