well, the face is alright, but the top of the head is too low. also give him ears ;]  
and move the head with the neck to the left, now he’s leaning forward.  
something like this:

if the head feels too tall, cut it down by one pixel.

The original leaning forward style looks inquisitive, or possibly aggressive. It makes me think of the old arcade/nes/everything game “Renegade.”  
If there is an issue I think it is that the torso and head are seen from the side but the legs facing the viewer slightly, so it is inconsistent with the other viewpoint, where all three parts face the same way.
