Not sharp and it seems you tried to overcompensate by sharpening. There are sharpening artefacts visible.

Lovely portrait. She looks very awake and bright. To me it feels a bit unnatural that there is a large depth of field but her nose, cheeks and chin seem out of focus. Maybe should have moved focus a bit more to the front or use a more narrow depth of field?

Great shapes and composition. I wish the reflection/highlights were more clean, without the reverse V shape in the reflection on the glass. (best way to achieve: have a clean white area in the background just outside camera view, surrounding the current black area, and then shield of everything else)

I do, but still the image does not work for me. I looked at the image, not the title. I realised this was about the pandemic and this is currently happening in springtime, but still, for me it does not connect to the challenge theme.

As to the technical aspects, an image does not always have to be eye candy or technically perfect for me, but in my view a different technical approach should add to the message one wants to give with the image. I did not get that here.

I hope this add some further nuance to my explanation and score (2). At least I bothered to explain my score, which many others did not.
