I think you are missing an eye

Kidding aside, it is kind of interesting - why did you go B&W? I am not sure what color your hair is from the way the light is hitting it, but if it is light you might want to try to brighten it some.

Here's the original.. I liked making it b&w... seemed to hide many of the skin blotches and unevenness..

yureigal,

A 25% portrait makes it a challenge. If I were to change anything (besides adding the missing 75%), it would be to decide "more or none" on the lone nostril. Some definition in the hair and iris would help complete the image. But mostly I think you are brave to literally put yourself up for Critique.
