Some compositional and lighting issues to work on.
1) you typically need more room out front. Leaving room out front where there is somewhere to look would help here. I would have went more room out front and less in back.
2) having more shoulders for a base would work better.
3) inside of the ear is the brightest spot. Your eye instantly goes there.
4) no catch lights in the eyes is indicative of a poor light source. When natural light is good on a face you will typically get strong reflections in the eyes.
As far as keeping the photo that is a personal choice. If you are looking to get a more professional image you could probably do better. Keep at it and post some more and work on improving your composition and light.
