There is a good balance of the dark vs light shading and slight fading shadows around the edges of the picture. However, there are alot of unblended lines, particularly on the surface the skull sits and on the skull itself. Assuming it's on some kind of cloth, soften it up to make it look that way. I see this was done in some spots, but not in all of them. The cracks in the skull are hard to make, but one of them looks like they are sitting over the surface and not running through it because of the white lines running next to the dark lines. The eyes look good, as well as the nose because you really see the depth of the surfaces. The ridge between the eye and side of the head should be wider though.

Great use of strong shades, especially with the background and the frontal parts of the skull. However, the frontal part seems to me like it's "sweating" the grey, compared to the very smooth forehead etc. The 3D feel is good with the eyes, it's just as if I could poke my finger into that eyehole. The nose hole on the other hand, is a bit flat compared to the eye since it's almost all black. The cracks on the skull are good, they look well done and simple enough, yet add greatly to the overall feel of the picture.
