I really like this. I do wish the nose was a bit sharper. I tend to look at that first. But...I just really like the feel to this image and it makes me smile. So that being said...I give you a 9.
Sharp eyes which is important, but having so much of the frame taken up by a big blurred nose is not so good. An increase in tonal range and slight colour casting on the nose too which would have helped had they been corrected
