In this case, I think I'd crop off the brighert part on the left, and let her head fall right on the centerline. The rightmost 80% or so has beautiful lighting and detail.

Very nice candid portrait.

Maybe a DPC ribbon would cheer her up...

I'd think a dog would see in higher contrast...

Only minor "complaint" is that it looks as though her hands are tilted towards the camera, making her top hand took a little too large proportionally. I'd have positioned the hands nearer the left shoulder. Also, if you can bring her forward without casting too much shadow you might be able to blur the background more and get "draped" rather than creased look.

Expressive subject, great DOF and exposure.

Looks just a little bright or overly contrasty for the "mood" of this photo.

Well-done high-key image. I'm not sure I'd have bordered it just the way you did, but it's creative and works OK with this image.

Good job keeping her hair sharp and skin tones smooth. Wish those two circles right by her chin were a half-inch to the left.

Only minor tweak I'd do is to rotate slightly CCW so the main dark/light boundary at the top right is more horizontal -- I don't think it would affect her pose adversely.
