The scroll suggests "diploma" for me - which makes the gate make sense as you see them about campus all the time. Regardless of that - personally I don't find that a distraction. I think tho, if the "tear" doesn't say "tear" I would use your digital bandaid and cover it up. I like MA suggestion of a little more shadowing as she does have a dramatic face. I think this is a wonderful image, Marko!
