Hi, Barbara. I think that's made a difference, don't you? Her mouth on our right still needs to go down a little more, though, as do the outer corners of the eyes, and the iris needs to extend slightly higher on both eyes, as does the white area closest to the nose on our right, with a little less of a fold showing above it. Also try reducing the contrast on the eyelashes and softening the whiteness of the teeth and see how that looks. There is more shadow on the teeth on either side of the mouth, which helps create the sense of the mouth's curvature. Her lower lip is also fuller on the left, as it goes toward the corner, than you've made it.
You might put a touch more reflected light on the side of her face, on our left, to show the modeling of the head. It looks like her hair at the temple on our left comes in further above her eyebrow, too, which will make her face look a bit narrower and render the shape of the head better.
The shoulder looks much better now and the color of the flesh is much more lifelike in this picture of the painting. I really like the way you've done the skin tones and the hair, and that little hand is very nice.
