Obviously I don't know your location, but the feature that lets this down for me is the shadow which really impacts on the face. If possible, I think you need to be looking at and predicting the angle of the light for your stay on any given day, and do as much as you can to work with the light behind you whenever possible (for the standard type shots of course - getting all arty is a different ball game!). If you'd managed that here, and been further over to the left then you'd have stood a better chance of more even lighting, even if you were presented with the exact same head towards the camera pose.
Still, when I think where you were 12 months ago, the progression in your work has been superb.
