-converted to B&W
-dodged and burned the eyes, mouth and left side of the face
-adjusted brightness/contrast
-sharpened
-cropped because of the harsh white light above the ear and the body (not sure if thats a good idea)
Hesitant to enter because a subject blurred by real motion might not be embraced here for portraits plus I really suck at PP. :(

I think the cross-hatching filter/texture is fighting with the fur rather than enhancing the shot. The hair has a very defined directional texture and maybe a crosshatch would work better on a less detailed subject like smooth skin?
there is a strange look to this which I dont quite understand, it is not just out of focus but has a blurr caused by movement,would have been great if you had caputred it still, good luck
looks like a picture of a painting... unless it's been heavily edited, but then why would you heavily edit something like that? i'd want to keep it lifelike..
