This looks like it was taken with a camera-phone, which, I suppose, is meant to be part of the draw. Unfortunately, the image and its "technique" don't work for me. Sorry.
Really out of focus and far too dark. Perhaps, better lighting and a tripod would have helped this to be sharper. I think it was beyond repair in a post editing trial.
I voted this low due to the poor quality and the fact that its not in focus. Sharp focus on the face to emphasize texture and detail, along with a tighter crop, would help you in the future.
Way too ill-focused and grainy, with too much contrast. It looks like this was shot with too little resolution; try setting your camera to record at a size much larger than what you actually need, because then resizing images for the web is possible without losing detail or adding "noise" like this. Also, had this been at a higher resolution, I think that some creative post-processing could have salvaged this image and made it a solid 5 or better.
