Because everything about the face is so expressive, and yet gentle and not forbidding...
All of the above, plus the earth-tones coloring.

You are right. Is it too somber? I think not. But there is a somber beauty to this pic...
I wouldn't have used the word somber. But if I had, I would say the pink makes it look less somber. Maybe what some call somber, I call earth-tones. You know, dirt color. I love browns -- dirt, nuts, tree bark, moths, things like that. Whatever kind of beauty it is, it is certainly beauty, to me.
