hey I'm new here as well.. which makes me a little nervous about giving you some crits but you asked so here I go. Although I can't be certain about what is truly wrong or right since I don't know what they ref pic looks like..

but, I'd say your drawing still looks quite 2 dimensional. I'd say this is mainly because the difference between your shadows and highlights isnt that great. Which.. you could probably fix by making your shading overall darker.. for example.. there are some key highlights that would make the nose look more 3d that are missing from your drawing (either that or.. the highlights aren't bold enough to be noticeable). I've had a lot of classes on facial structure - so this is where I'm getting my tips incase you wondered Her left eye seems pretty good.. but the right is missing the bit of muscle(?) thats attached to the white of the eye.. and the lips shading is definitely off a bit. - So I'll stop here.. and just say.. basically.. your work is great so far.. it just seems to need more detail and more focus on correct shadows and highlights.. and perhaps a main skin tone (a shade inbetween the darkest shadows and lightest highlights) to cover the entire face.

I hope my tips/crits help if not.. best of luck and keep drawing
