I think for your close up you need to crack up a bit the texture of the face but it not a portrait yet so not that much really.I said a few time that i think you make character that have that doll quality to them(extremely soft skin) sometime and i think breaking that up would help you get a extra level of realism obviously that might just be a matter of my own taste vs your ultimately i am not going to mention this much more longer if it not something you care about.
Ok so in my POV what i try to do is to create a bit of a stronger shadow side on the left and reduce that bounce light i feel was bit to strong.I also took away some of the darkness on her forehead and up the highlight on the face to pop the eye(mine seem a bit more hopeful i feel).
(Just mind that if you take reference from photo magazine there is a chance that they remove alot of the shadow to avoid showing the bumb on the skin this mean that you should try to take reference that are taken outside to avoid light scenario that would not fit the environemen the green you put in the shadow show that you think about bounce light so it show you are thinking about light even in the shadow side.)
Take note that i judge what you did as finish even those i tried a few thing differently it for the sake of giving you an other perspective on the final.
For the new piece i would go with D aswell but i would try to have some satured and desatured blue where you want the eye to go.
