Looking great. if I'm being picky, I'd say you might have overstated the half-tones a little, based on a comparison with the reference you've posted (but that may be a bit washed out in the photo). In particular, if say the planes of the nose look a bit hard edged, I think because the highlight tells a little too strongly against its half-tones. Also, on the cheek I think you could do with turning the form a little closer to the jaw. Of course, I'm actively searching for things to criticise here - it's a lovely piece of work. I always find it easier to spot these kinds of error in other people's work than in my own. Don't know what that says about me!
