Kimberly,
This is so close I want to come out and hold the reflector for you.
I still think you need more emphasis and light on her face. The door frame dominates too much, though the composition is lovely.
Think complementary color. This is basically a red and green composition, a sharp red accent, small and subtle would help. A pot of red geraniums at the bottom of the door frame, more light on her face and I think the whole thing would, in my opinion be a stronger image.
Before I started my present painting, it went through three major changes. The pose and composition stayed the same, but I made color changes in hair, (pink to natural), costume, (white to pale pink) and the background went from solid grey green to a yellow chinoiserie.
