AROUND!!!!!!
The first thing that really stands out in this painting is the high detail of the face. The hair and skin tone is incredibly realistic, but the nose and ears look a bit too small. If I understand correctly, this is a projection of what you'll look like in the future(?)... you have to keep in mind that your nose and ears continue to grow throughout your lifetime.
Composition: This feels like it should be in a vertical canvas, especially since the face is centred and bright versus dull dark edges. A minor thing: it might have looked better with a coloured jacket (earth tone) to relieve a bit of the negative space.
Overall: very well done, excellent colour choice and nice technique.
Vision: 4/5
Originality: 4.5/5
Technique: 4.5/5
Impact: 3
Also, you don't necessary have to keep the same amount of detail throughout the whole painting, but try to think of it as taking a picture: elements in the same plane, or close together should "be in focus".
But I do want to emphasize that this work is extremely well done, especially since it's an imagined picture rather than painted from a model or photograph.
