It looks real good to me.You really caught his expression.
It's the bunnies that put that smile on him.

Very nice Nancy!

The cheekbones and smile are great matches.

Great job Nancy, if anything too life like! You captured his smirk quite well.

Nancy,
Phenominal work!!! Well designed and executed.

As for improvements the only areas I see that I would question is the fact that his eyes in real life appear more narrow and the area between the nose and his upper lip appears too large on the carving. But thats just my observation. The only way to truly see would be to lay a grid out over both the actual picture of him and the picture you took of the carving and see...

You captured the smirk perfectly!!!
