"The face still looks quite realistic to me in the second picture. The floor texture you are using is not so good and that wont help with the illusion of realism. Try making the background looking more realistic.

That camoflage texture on the clothes looks wrong as well, a bit too unnatural looking."

Gee..thanks. Sorry, fashion is not my thing. (Going for a military look. And it did fail)

I know the floor is not helping, and lighting is an issue as well. I realized how bad the floor was after the render. Took a lot to get the render, and I didn't feel like doing it over again, just to get help. Not focusing on the clothes. It is the facial area, skin texture, that is lost in the realism. Looks cartoony.
