I like it a lot. sweet lighting. The roughness of the white on the forehead really creates a texture, it looks great. Only thing I would suggest is sharpening it up a bit.

Take the final layer

Duplicate it

Set the copy layer to color burn or color dodge

Play around with the opacity and see what you get

Sorry but I have not scanned the reference pic yet... but as soon as my scanner works again I'll see what I can do.
Mantis: I'll test that thing with that duplicate dodge layer...

Hey Mantis, great idea with your dodge layer! I like it much better now...
I also improved the shading a bit with the smudge tool:
