What a great start! You have already captured an excellent likeness!
I know you are not finished but here are my suggestions based on what you've done so far:
1) His left eyelid seems a little too light in value.
2) The shadow area on the left side of his neck seems to go all the way to the back of the neck and under the ear.
3) On your painting, it seems like the corner of his right shoulder is lined up with the tip of the hat. Because the photo is so small it's hard to be sure but I think that the shoulder corner is actually more towards the left of your canvas (did I express that properly?. In other words, his shoulders seem a little narrow.
As for the badge I think it looks fine. When you have added color to the rest of the painting it probably won't look so bright.
Nice job!
