Thanks for posting the reference. Was this a professional photographer's shot? I like the flowers and basket in the original photo. Did you change it so as to reduce the risk of copyright problems, if it wasn't your photo?
As for the likeness, I see two separate issues. The first is that the top of the head is too small, as is the chin, but by a lesser amount.
The second thing I see is that most of the forms need to be darker as they turn away from the viewer to the right. This will help overcome the flattening of the form I see.
Everything to the right of her right eye (from our perspective) needs to go down in value. The right side of her eyelid, her right temple, etc. all need to be darkened. The same is true with the right side of her left eye, and the whites of both eyes. They all should be darker as they turn away from us on the right side.
Play around with it in Photoshop and see what you think.
