Yes, indeed, the youth of today comes with ear buds! I like the close crop and the facial expression. I would suggest, however, that the post processing is overdone when it is so obvious. I think you would have gotten away with it in a photograph of an old man, but not with a teenager. A technique that I find useful is to start with two duplicate images as different layers. I do the processing on the top layer and then reduce the top layer from 100% until I find the results believable.
