It is obvious that your coloring skills are very developed and there is no problem in that area. It is a good piece, but there are quite a few people who have the same "eye" for this style, so I took a few "points" off of originality. Do not change the way you do your "lighting"/shading ability, though, because it really adds an emotional effect to this piece. It is great with how it looks semi-realistic, too. There should be more artists like that. The grey colors are not appealing, but it suits this image perfectly. The features such as the eyes could show up a bit more, though. ( it would allow the person who is looking at it to observe it longer from god features. )
What do you think?

I absolutely love this piece.
The lighting, and the way that everything seems to shine really adds a sense of depth. I feel like I can reach out and touch it. I also really like the colour scheme you used.
I find that the simplicity of the background draws more attention to the general, and think that the only thing I would suggest for improvement would be to perhaps add a bit more shading contrast.
I actually like the layered effect, and how many of the details seem to exist apart from the main image. I find that it makes it look more abstract and slightly surreal.
overall fantastic picture!
