It looks realistic yet impressionistic. If I may suggest one tiny thing, I would give the shadows a LITTLE more depth, just a little in the already shaded parts - and maybe that's just a thing with digitization and posting process so there's that.

It's very good the way it is.

Someone mentioned making a series out of the concept, I like that idea too.
