The focus is a little soft here, and I would have liked to see all of the ears, but overall a nice picture.

Looks like you were going for a soft-focus, but it seems too soft on her face as compared to her shirt, which is distracting. I'd try a solid colour shirt and a little more light.

It's a good portrait composition and she looks like a natural in front of the camera. The diffuse glow/soft focus effect is used a lot and I can see why it is appealing, however, the eyes usually suffer with this technique. You could try attempting the effect on a new layer and once you have it looking like you want it use the eraser tool around the eyes and the mouth to bring back some of the sharpness while leaving the skin soft and glowing.

I like the soft focus on this Portrait. If the top of her head wasn't cropped off I think the whole picture would look more complete.

in smoothing the pic you lost too much detail... eg her hair.

Very beautify girl and I like the fact that she wasn̢۪t make to smile and show the teeth, I think a photo like this is so much better with a more natural facial expression. About the soft feel in the photo, (if it was done in Photoshop) I would have used the history bush to bring back some of the face. I personally just fine the face a little too soft. Still great work!
