Nice job. I find this to be a fine strong head with an interesting silhouette. Generally I stay away from life size portraits as any flaws in the execution will seem to be emphasized.

The only suggestion I would make might be to add more color to the reflected light within the shadow area in order to differentiate it from the direct light.
