Thanks, all, for the replies and suggestions. I set mine up in a room where there was good light, using VoiceOver, but my sighted husband was standing behind me and he said it got a good scan of my face. Since I tried the suggestion of holding my phone at arms length from my face I have had much better luck. I most definitely prefer touch ID as you can even do that without having to pick up your phone, but I'm getting more used to the face ID. I have too much on my phone to leave it wide open, although it has been tempting in the past.
