I guess I'm the odd woman out... I want to see faces. I would go with different colors, but I think I want to see eyes, nose and a mouth. A little shading in the cheek bones. If it's not in your repertoire, then I would take the entire set of that applique, (maybe after you stitch some detail into the pants and jacket or you take it just the way it is with the picture) to someone artistic and ask them to insert the details into the faces, jackets, shading on the pants etc. Why stop at almost. Get some help and make it as close to your vision as possible even if you need a little help. But, that's just my humble opinion.
