There's a certain "plasticity" to the skin—very uncanny valley.

I think the plasticity comes from the ears and eyes, which to me seem a bit doctored.

I think the uncanny valley could be overcome with some subtle rigging to simulate a person's micro-gestures. Its not often you look at a human completely motionless, sans a wake.
