First and formost, the jaggies! Horrible jaggies along her right (our left) arm and her top strap. Because she's light on a very dark background, it stands out a lot there. Secondly, the shadow along her nose, makes her nose look huge. I can tell when I look at her, that her nose if in fact not huge, but the way the shadow lays, it appears that way.
The next thing is her skin, looks like some neat image there and she has no texture. The combination of the unnatural jaggies and the lack of skin texture, makes her look almost fake. Also, I would like to see more hair. It blends in too well with the background, and I think with as beautiful as she is, I want to see all of her. Well...you know what I mean.
Ok, that being said...I still think it's an excellent portrait, and if it were me, I be happy with it, but if you were looking for some picky details, there they are. ~Heather~
Very nice focus by the way. i also might like to see this with the right cropped, and more negative space to the left of the photo. The right 1/4 seems to be adding nothing to the photo. Hope this helps, it's just one opinion.
