Grethe,
I think that you have had many good suggestions here and I have but a few thoughts to add.

The forehead looks a bit distorted so I straightened the reference to make the top and button sides parallel and also widened the picture.

I think that you could lighten the shadow side of his head and also darken the collar/shirt and also the shadow side of his white coat. I have done a little here and there, you'll see where.

You have done a very fine job for a first portrait, take your time with it.
