The image has a number of issues however holding it back. The head angle isn't great and only one eye is parietally and hardly visible, which makes it tough to make a connection with the subject. the side light didn't help much either. The head details look a bit coarse and crunchy on my screen as posted , I am not sure if the RAW file was sharp or not, could be post processing (?)
