Jerome,

I really like this portrait - it has suchan original composition, and a very intimate feeling.

The only thing I might add to Allan's excellent comments is to turn the tip of the nose a litlle bit. I can see that the light is very diffuse, ans fairly uniform, as there's a lot of reflected ligth from the sweater. I think that if you add a tiny area of slightly darker, slightly warmer skin tone across the tip of the nose, it will help to turn the nose under, and differentiate the upward and downward facing planes of the nose.

Nice job!
