Could I have made this pic sharper?

Hi Jeff,
See if you like this.

I could not get the original (had to sign in somewhere, barely do that) so started with the example of GHK

mine:

I thought it to be too cool (WB) too so these are the things I did:
- warmed the image, but a little less than others have done. Hope I have got the skin color right.
- sharped the face a little (it can be done, but the resolution of the original was quite low)
- tried to make the background less intrusive (darkened, less saturation, blurred, vignet). Cropping is another good suggestion, but this background adds to the atmosphere of the situation.
