Yes it looks good but again I must say that patchers should eliminate indirect lighting from the patches. It does not fit compared with the default EA cyberfaces. THe most obvious place is the nose that looks plain wrong because of the lighting.
Fix that and it will be one of the best Carters out there.

Indirect lighting is the light that can be seen on the face when it is not flashed. Usually the best textures for use are the textures photographed in a studio that have surround lighting, which gives the best conditions for best detail and light.
But apparently the picture you have used doesnt have surround light (or is purposely set like that). WHat you can see however is that the one side of the face is darker. Compared with EAs default fsh bhed textures you see that they are evenly lit, more shaded than actually lit. In your current texture one side of the face is darker, and that can be seen especially well in one side of the nose.
To remove such a bad effect is to create a new layer which is a copy of your current bhed and mirror it. Now you may thing that you just cut the other side and have two face sides symmetrical, but human face isnt symmetrical. You should mainly brush out everything but the darker parts in the other side of the face (nose especially) and then adjust the lighting (opacity) of the layer to achieve the effect where the darker side of the face is not so obvious. It can be a little bit, but not too much.
Im thinking of creating a tutorial about rough-cyberface design (aka from brushing to photo-reference to detail and lighting and such), but dont know if I really have time. I hope this helped, if not you can always contact me on MSN and I can give you better tips there.

OLD/NEW
PLease tell me why do you add such a terrible effect on the cyberface and have it on 512x512? Its as effective in 256x256 since Vince's own face is just blurred on 512x512. I recommend 256x256 unless you intend to do actual strong patching on the thing that starts from brushing, texture detail bit by bit, lighting, coloring and such. Patch takes a lot of work really, and such an effect is a real strange thing to put on a cyberface.
Best luck in your future patches

Because you didnt do as I told you. You did exactly what I told you not to do, I told you not to overlap. Delete brush with a smooth brush every detail that is not too dark as I did in my example (just compare them for gods sake). Currently this is mirrored and doesnt look too good.

Your faces are nice, as well as very similiar to EA's. They're too good this year. There are not many faces out here which I could call an improvement towards EA's ones...
Yours seem to have more detail but are in my eyes too oversharpened. So not a big improvement, in general, comparing to EA's faces.... Sorry
