1. I generally like the image. It is a nice self-portrait and much better than most would make. So, you did good. Well done.
2. I don't care for the selective color use (blue eyes, desaturated skin). This is a personal preference.
3. The image appears as if the face is a little close to the lens. This is subtle, but I get the impression the face is a little too close. I suggest try the same shot and move the camera back about one meter (or a little less) and then look at the resulting image. Carefully examine the size and shape and look of the nose in both. Then if you prefer the one taken from further, simply crop to get the composition you want.

I agree with Steady's point #1. Good job.
One small thing I notice is the ears. We only see part of each ear. I think this is from your lighting setup.
I notied the ears as well, but it kinda looks as if he had the eraser/paint tool with the grandiant brush when he was going over the background and just got too close to the ears.
