Nice interpretation of an old photo. I like the colors you've used.

I would echo Joseph's comment about the top of the head; there is also too little volume at the back, as well, giving her a chopped off look.

One other comment: in the photo her skin has a dewy, soft appearance and that's not echoed in the pastel treatment. I think there's a bit too much texture so it makes her look older. Addressing the skull dimensions at top and back would also help.

If you do make changes, please post them. This will be a lovely memento for your family!
