Well it's a start.
Where are you going with this?
Are you aiming for human, space creature or something else?
What tools/techniques are you using?

Well -- Humanoid. It was a practice head. I'm using Wings3D, standard 
subdivision modelling.

I didn't really have an aim, when I created it, I just did it to see how 
close I could get to having something that looked reasonably 
recognisable as a face.

Well it's definitely recognisable.

If you're still working on it then the proportions seem a bit off, the eyes
could come down and  be recessed back a bit. Lifting the top of the head to
give a bigger forehead would make the overall proportions about right.

For the eyes I would recommend pulling back a socket behind the eyelids and
doing the eyeballs as separate spheres. In fact there's some POVRay eyeballs
and stuff you could use here:
