Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I guess the consensus is that I should have cropped out the edges of the bowl. Ironically, my first take on this was a much closer view of just the face, but it seemed too boring to me. So I chose the wider view. Nevertheless, I'm quite pleased with the voting. Thanks!
Great idea, great composition, but to me it looks flat both color wise and in depth. Moving your lighting more to one side or the other (I would say to photographers right) would help with the depth issue.

this is a great hidden face! i'm scoring it a 7, but think that this would definitely be worth reshooting with a different container, one large enough to allow you to crop out the distracting edges. you might also want to work on evening out the lighting. even so, good job!
