Bart,
Portrait artist I am not !
If you want "punch" then get rid of the background and lift them out, remove extraneous foreground.
The Eyes have it !
Mine is quick and rough but you get the idea - I just used a lasso with the mouse - but there are far better tools for this.
The harsh lighting is difficult to fix - use a flash next time !
Cloned the right side texture to the left and blurred the lot.
Dodged, burned and blurred some of the worst facial highlights which seemingly are not totally burnt out so there is data to rescue if you have the time.
Cheers
Rally
