I�m happy with this for the most part, because I�ve always struggled with portraits and this is a huge improvement over my last attempt. However, something always seems to go wrong around the nose/mouth area, and I can never tell what. A friend described it as looking pushed in, but I can�t figure out how to fix it.

Any insights on this, tips on hair, or general color or proportion issues would be greatly appreciated (be ruthless, I need it!).
