I haven't checked this website in months, but even after all this time, you're still one of my favorite artists around here.
Brilliant work as always, friend.

Really nice. I can feel the concentration.
The only thing I would say is switch gears when you step back from the face to evaluate the whole. Here, I point out that that the background tends to merge with subject and obscure/detract from what would be otherwise a strong statement. Its values are too close to those used in the bust - they mimic, or repeat, those of the bust, and not in a good way.
What's called for is a clear distinction in the values and patterns between the two, so that they separate and play their parts in an easily identifiable tonal scheme. For example, black and white on gray, or gray and black on white, gray and white on black, etc. (consider which of the five basic schemes best handles the subject matter).

Yes, background came out not what it was supposed to be but I left it alone.

She looks like she is looking at something/someone she loves. I like.
