If I ignore the anatomy, I am struck at how good and strong your composition is. Overall, I do like this portrait.

Anyhow you're in good company. A lot of Old Master paintings are not exactly anatomically correct. Even the great Ingres managed to toss a few extra vertabrae into his "Odalisque."

Besides, I think that artistic composition is more important than mere anatomy.
