Not bad for your first. I think you should spend more time in front of the camera. You're pretty :-D

Personally I don't like the lighting, some may disagree. It is composed very pretty though.

Well you did good for your first. I like the lighting, and the expression on your face, almost as if your letting your SP tell the story. Nice work.

Love the soft warm lighting. A little bit of sharpness around might have helped IMO.7.

This image seems very soft and lacking in contrast. If you have access to Photoshop, try using the unsharp mask feature - or any sharpening feature in the editing tool you are using. When you resize down to 640 pixels JPEGS *always* lose their sharpness (I can tell the original was probably quite sharp). You have to add it back. It also appears that there was maybe a softening filter or some sort of softening effect with this that I'm not sure works in this particular case. I can tell this was a really beautiful, well captured portrait; however, the sepia and softening seem to take away from the image. 6

seems a little soft, maybe from a small file size? Your image is only 53 kb but the max allowance is 150 kb. This means that a lot of details are lost due to compression before uploading. Here is a DPC tutorial you can look at if you have photoshop. It will help you get the most out of your image. I feel this would have done much better if you had a larger file size. I do like the duotone you chose to use.
