What a smile. This looks like an advertisement.

If the idea of taking a portrait is to capture a little of the model's personality, you hammered this. Colors, expression, context are all excellent. A slightly sharper focus would have gotten a 9 or 10. As is, 8 and a recomendation to save this picture for a long time to enjoy.

Lovely young lady in a very cute pose! Great use of catch light to get the twinkle in her eye. Nice use of creative lighting to giver her face depth. Two things that would take this from a good shot to a great shot, there's a little bit of clutter in the background. A simple cloth hung behind or a slightly different angle takes care of that. Also, the left side of the shot is a tad too dark at the top. I would try a simple reflector (spelled white poster board) to bounce back just a touch of light onto the headphones!
