Glad you like it! I was actually quite unsure about the background but in the end a dark tone was the only thing that seemed to suit it properly. I will study more portraits' background and come up with a better solution at some point :)
Not sure about the black background, it kinda ruins the antialiasing on the hair. Probs a transparent or light background will be better. I do, hovewer, like the shading you have done on the face. Nice portrait!
