very painting like (in a good way). i know this might sound weird, but it makes me think about orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream mix.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Smellyfish...

This is a cute shot, but it doesn't seem to hold any particular value to me as a viewer. There are no glaring flaws in it anywhere that really detract from the image. The shadow under the chin is the only thing that particularly catches my attention. It creates a sharp contrast that is eye-catching and draws my attention away from the eyes.

Portrait work that is posted to a challenge like this really needs to have some element(s) that snare the viewer's imagination in some way, since we are not acquainted with the subject.

Cute for sure. Nice spontanious photo. Lovely eye detail. The only thing I would suggest fixing is the slight glare on her forehead (yellowish round spot), just by brushing very slightly over it with semitransparent soft brush. Also, it could have been a bit nicer in vertical format, since her hair is up so nicely. But overall nice photo.
