It's interesting how critics find it is completely acceptable to tell an amateur that his work or choice is bad without considering any positive aspects of his work.

I am sure that Steven Sweeney considered your talent sufficiently worthy in order to invest his time and attention into a most thoughtful critique of your work. I think that if you make the effort to follow Steven's suggestions, this portrait would improve dramatically.
When you need a pat on the back there are many other good places (e.g., Wet Canvas) to post your work. I cringe when I see valuable time and effort wasted in an unwanted, unappreciated and ignored critique. This isn't about ego here, it is about trying to offer genuine help to those who reach out. I am sorry that you feel as if your toes were stepped on but you have probably posted in the wrong place.
