Boy, Jeanine, it is hard to critique an intentional change in the width of the face. However, in you effort to narrow the face and neck, it appears that you have made the nose too long. Then, the domino effect kicks in from there. That won't do. It also looks like the forehead is too long. This is the risk in messing with the width of the face. Now the forehead looks too long as well. The dynamics all change then, causing a conflict in the axis of the head. It might work anyway, because it is very subtle.
