Jack is my first attempt at doing more than a head with pastels. The resource photo can be seen here

There was so much light on the nose in the resource photo, it made his nose look to wide in the portrait, so the mother stood here with me until we got what SHE says is right. However Im wondering if this works since there puts more shadow on the right side?
Also, the hand in the resource photo is as bright as the face. In person it doesn't seem to stick out like it does on this computer, any thoughts on that?
The mom says to leave the hair as is.
If there is anything else bothering you let me know. I have looked too much to be objective anymore. Thanks.
