On the shirt, you have a vertical line dividing light from shadow, I suggest a more gentle transition here.
Areas of high contrast and sharp focus belong in the area of the center of interest in a painting.
Also, I'd really like to see you establish a pattern of some sort in the background to enhance your composition. Below is a scribble (and I am sure that you can do better)...but I think that it gives the background some "interest."
