Crop more off the top. There's too much area there that allows the vertical line bisecting your head to become distracting. Otherwise, a very nice shot. Well lit, good soft focus.
I love this photo; couple of things bothers me though. Softness is nice, but on the eyes, it feels like out of focus take. You should of show your necklace more, it's very nice. Also, you probably should try a flat background instead of corner. It looks nice, but takes some attention from your eyes. Nice photo overall :)
beautiful.the only thing that bothers me about this photo is the line coming out of the top of your head, it tries to pull my eyes from your eyes. but still a great portrait. 9
The lighting is interesting, though i think there is a hot spot on the forehead. Congratulations to you if you have such beautiful skin, but otherwise, looks like NI overdone
