That's a very beautiful painting.

Only watch out for the size of the ear and hands, the position of the eyebrow, the distance between his eyebrows and his bangs, the size and inclination of his neck and the position of his back.

A few touch ups might resolve, but if you decide not to change anything, that will be beautiful anyway.

I suggest you to turn both the painting and the photograph upside down and check the likeness. It will be easier to check the values too.

My immediate reaction is: get rid of the ropes! I would eliminate everything in a painting that is not necessary to have it make sense, or that does not contribute to what you are saying. Otherwise, aside from the minor corrections in proportion that have already been pointed out, I think it has strength and beauty.

Oops - did anyone notice that they're critiquing a painting posted 6 years ago?
