maybe its worth getting something a bit more realistic to practice your work on as well... you have proven to us that you can reshape and mold people. how about focusing more on the skin and its textures, the colors, the light etc. see if you can find a suitable picture somewhere (?)

you sure got talent and like markzebra is saying, you will rarely be asked to do such a dramatic job anyway.
keep practicing photoshop and i'll practice on internet politeness...

I thought your criticisms are pretty much right, this is what an annoying client would say!
The picture is really amazing, I find it hard to believe you're an amateur.
Great work.
