Its a very good effort, however there would be more shaping shadows in the face as well as the texture of the skin.
Shadows to define the mouth - for instance:- the curve below the bottom lip and dimples under the nose that shape the top lip. As one ages the muscles soften and drop the fine edges of a structure and if there are false teeth they push the top lip out and straighten it. The Older face actually has higher cheek bones than you have given credit for and there would be deeper hollows over and a slight shadow under the eyes . Cartilage grows all of ones life so the nose may well have been shorter and slightly turned up at the end.

Good work. I will come back and vote later.

There are an awful lot of people who don't think laterally on this site which is odd. I like what you have done monochrome or not

Sorry I came straight into this comp off the first page and thought it was photoshop - but I still think the reflections could have been better specialy after the one "Reflection.."

difficult to see the images could you exaggerate them a little.

Hi - at hi res you can see that there is still 1/background to be cut away between the rif=ders plat and her neck 2/ at the back of the sadle there is still background. 3/ There is too much blurring & softness around the figure. if you are using Photoshop you need to adjust the selection >MENU>Select>refine edges.
Good luck its a nice composition.

HI AUTHOR - sorry Im slow - if you look below the butter dish there is a patch of shadow as if the light is shinning from the top - the shadow AROUND the cat and the box and to the right of the table looks as if the items were merely a flat cut out with the light shining from the left side. You can see the shadow of the butter dish clearest below and slightly to the left of the dish itself - what you mostly see under the dish is a reflection.

applied shadows conflict with the original photograph - otherwise a nice effort.

You will struggle for good results if you use a low resolution image - and make sure that the image you are using is upgraded to 300dpi
