I really like this crop as well as the frame. The focus is a little soft on her eye. Seems the light is coming from the side.

When very close like this the focus must be spot on and pin point sharp. I feel the point of focus should be the eye and it doesn't seem sharp to me. A very good idea and well composed.

I'd try to get eye more toward the center, either by cropping on the right or adding more to the left. Nice tone though.
