i think you did very well with the eyes - extremely sharp and well processed - but the lighting does not really flatter the rest of her face - it makes her face appear blotchy - and I doubt it really is
Not sharp enough, the eyes in particular should be razor sharp. Perhaps some USM? The stripey light is a nice idea, but I'm not fond of the mask effect on the eyes. The forehead looks unnaturally smooth. The expression is not too inspired, particularly the mouth. The background looks a little too burnt in, a little texture would help. Composition feels a little unbalanced, perhaps rule of thirds could have helped?
Nice composition. The lighting is great and directs my eyes to her eyes. Although the whites of her eyes seem a tad bit too bright. Very nice portrait, as it is.
