I find that the mouth is very convincing but I am troubled by the way the wrinkles twirl around the eye. It makes the eye seem to recede into the head. Take another look with a view to understanding the structure under those wrinkles- both in terms of the bone and the muscles attached to them. The bony ridges of the brow and the cheek bone are somewhat sunken in your image. This problem of showing the extreme convolution of the flesh while maintaining contact with the underlying structure is a challenge. But when done successfully it can produce a very captivating image. The human interest and intrigue of this image is noteworthy.
