oo very cool Anna you will get these features down yet.. i donno why tho, it almost looks cartoony.. its seems like really really clean. Try a little more drastic changes/fluctuations maybe, I am not sure, it looks very good, but if you are shooting to get more realistic, I think it almost looks too perfect :P
Looking at this, I'd say the first thing you might wanna do is to do something about the almost solid dark brown color you have in the nostril for a drawing of a nose up this close.You can usually even make out a slight line of flesh tone gradation going into the nostril.Another thing would to be darken up the bottom of the nose.Look at the nose as a tilted rectangular box and view the bottom of the nose as the plane at the end of the box.Hope couple of those hints will help you out.I do like the flesh tones quite a bit though :).
-Oh, and take me007's advice as well.The top of the nose seems to have only a single curve to it, when in fact, you may see more fluctuations in the shape if you look at it carefully.The easiest way to identify this is to look at the negative space on your photograph.
