Let me first say, that at age 16,if my memory serves me correctly, I think you are doing a fantastic job. Having a passion for copying the "Master's" will certainly teach you alot of valuable lessons.
The first thing that is noticeable is the overall color scheme of your painting vs. the attached original copy. One thing I have noticed is that when looking for reproductions just about all copies show variations in the overall basic "tinting" of the copy, so I won't talk about color.
With all that said, I would concentrate on the drawing, particularly at the focal point. The first thing you might look at would be the direction in which the subject is looking. Adjusting the eyes/nose a bit should help. Also the hand in your painting is smaller than the original, both in length and width.
Rather than go on from here, these are the two areas I think would have the biggest impact at this point.
Hope this helps. Nice work.
