Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)
Composition/Lighting : i really like this photo. as far as lighting goes, i believe it's spot on. seems like you had enough light, and i love the softness of this photo. i believe the only think i would do differently is it seems that the neatimage look on the face was too much. it looks "too perfect", which is something i struggle w/ as well. almost plastic or "ken and barbie"-ish if that makes sense? maybe doing what you did on its own level, but taking the opacity down will help show some of the "blemishes", but at a lower rate to where you get the smooth look you ere going for.
Challenge : with an overused technique such as selective desaturation, it's always great to see one that actually uses it well and for what it was meant. i think selective desat for this was a great choice, and very well done. the pastels are really brought to the attention of the viewer, and done so in a great and non-overbearing manner. great job :)
Conclusion : great job, really like this image. you had a great score, and should be proud of this image. very nice job:)
Keep on shootin!
Good luck on your future challenges:)
