>The face is underexposed/under-lit drawing focus to the Christmas lights and not the individual. The Christmas lights add some nice rim light to the left side of the face for that picture picture you would need a reflector (lights not needed) to bounce some of the light coming from the Christmas lights to the right side of the face, particularly the jaw/cheek and eyes/brows.>Contrast is kind of perfect imo.>You look kind of dead - its the eyes. An important feature of any portrait is the eyes. A light to the left of you would have created a reflection off of both your pupilsand would have made you appear more "lively."> The hair blur is incredibly distracting,. The camera should have been pushed forward a couple of inches (if the lens allowed) in order to have the hair and sofa in focus.
