I think I understand your concept, but where this image falls short for me is that my eye expects the light on her face to he coming from the lantern, not another source. By having the lighting coming from a direction that is flattering for a portrait, it causes a disconnect between the girl and the lantern. I also think that she is too well lit. Again, I would expect the lantern to be the brightest point of light, or at least equally to her face, and that the lantern would be casting the light onto her face. Perhaps if you chose to reshoot the image, either find a way to only supplement the light from the lantern, or maybe a composite where you use a light source from the same direction of where the lantern will be?
I do think the fog looked quite well done! Maybe bringing a little bit of it over her face to add some realism?
The whole three fingers thing didn't bother me at all, nor did it look like a composite to me.
