I'd try a "cutout" effect to that face just to experiment. What do you think?

I meant the simple cutout from Filter - Artistic - Cutout, but I tried it myself and it wasn't cool. It should have been something like that famous Che Guevara picture. But it looks good like this anyway.
I have tried something myself. Yours is better in the end.

I think its good work.

still looks ok but it's even less striking as mine was what do u think about the other one?

I like the background, but I think that blur is making the image unclear. I think you wanted to make the skin more uniform. I've seen some tutorials about doing this to photo models. But they used to keep some parts (mouth, years, eyes etc) untouched using masks( I'm not good with these) or simply rubber to delete the parts from the retouched layer.
