Hi Mike.
Very interesting. beautiful color and clarity. What camera did you use and what type of light?
However, I think that if you are trying to emulate Raeburn you might want to rethink a few points. The shadows are too dark. Remember the Raeburns you see reproduced are far more contrasty than the originals due to the photo process. I have seen many originals so please take my word.
Secondly, he never would have the nose shadow so extended as to touch the cheek (and never the upper lip either). Very unflattering in the case of a young girl. In fact he often had the shadow plane on the side of the face turned away from the viewer.
See some examples below.
