Paul,
I will agree with those who say that this is a beautiful and strong portrait.
However, let me point out a few things that might help you in the future.
The left side is a bit too strong- and perhaps wide. It need to be a bit softer and narrower to turn.
Here is a trick I use with skin-tones. I mix my paint and bring a knife full of paint right up to the face to match it. There are more colors in a face than you can imagine. You are going from light orange to dark orange.
This may not be kosher in the world of academic painting, but it has worked for me.
