Good focus on the eyes!

The shadows are abit harsh though, and lighting seems to be generally top down.

Not sure whats your set up like.

But some pp do use a plastic sheet and attach at the edge of the lens end, and use the flash on the camera to illuminate it, hence the sheet diffuses the light.

Or bring the flash off the hot shoe to the lens level and take at subject eye level.

Or use a 2nd flash to fill in from below.
