Beth,
I am enjoying your all the background changes you have been making. It is very interesting to see how the color of the background creates a different mood. I also commend you in hanging in there and challenging yourself.
I would recommend you soften the hair (our left)right where it turns towards the dark background to avoid the pasted on look. Compare your image with that of the little girl that has blond hair. Even though the light shows on her hair, the portion that goes towards the shadow is much softer. The beard area is great, there you nailed it.
