Anthony,

Now that I can see the head in detail I can better understand why the hair and eyes need attention. The whites of the eyes are almost never as white as they might at first seem and usually have a cast shadow from the eyelid. The "white" area in the left eye (on our right) looks a tad large and doesn't follow the likely line of of the lid. And lastly, and unless the hair is manufactured, look hard to find some areas where the forehead and hair blend one into the other. In this case I would cheat and create a few places even if they are not evident.
