Carol, this is a excellent study!! Good for you!
I do have some comets but first I agree with Sharon one must have the original to compare with. Still, being that you do have the cast you will be able to best judge if my comments are relative or not to your cast study.
First the value balance is real good but one thing the highlights could be considered for in the photo they seem to represent a plastic cast.
Under the chin in the shadow check if the reflected light is there and compare it to the shadow value.
The form is well done but the dark valued line on the outside edge could be something that needs to be adjusted here and there. I point to the top of the head and hair line.
The edge of the shadow that the cast makes could be considered. You will notice that the line of separation between darkest and soft around the dark shadow change. Some places it is softer than others but there is definite and distinct changes.
The detail is well done! I especially like the cracking on the neck. Michelangelo would be proud.
