A Portrait in Embroidery

I'm not quite finished with this project, but wanted to share it with you.
It's based on a photograph, but it is amazing how different and "flat" things are without shading and lighting.  I am not great at the perspective and shading stuff that so many of you are.  I just copied what I thought to be the best lines from the photo, right onto the fabric, and went from there.  

Now the question is - how should I finish it?  Should I frame it?  Make it a wall hanging?  What do you think?  If you have any other ideas, please let me know.  (Or this one might be hanging, unfinished, on my file cabinet forever).  

Cheers!
