The hair. Always a problem for me with images like this one. There isn't really enough detail in the image to get the hair to look right (especially when it's this blown up) I shrunk it down to about the size you said you use the images in your game and it looks okay though. Sometimes it's easy to get to be too much of a perfectionist. I played around with it a little bit and couldn't do much with the hair (beyond what what you've done). Only thing I thought was the colors are still pretty washed out but there isn't a lot to be done there either. GIMP has a few options called "color enhance", "gaussian blur", and "soft glow" which I used in my image to try to bring out the color in the face and by contrast the hair. Mine looks bad at big size but tolerable when small. (Stole your hat btw)
