Hi Lon,
I really like this one! I like the atmosphere, the pose. But since you have posted this in the 'portrait critiques'-section, a few comments.
Mike is right about the modelling of the bridge of the nose.
My feeling is that the roses are a bit too light, it distracts the attention from the face a little too much this way. Perhaps making them a little darker would help ?
Another observation, on the (for us) right side of her face there is the shadow of the hair and on the right side of that shadow where the skin becomes lighter again it seems that it becomes too much of a line, my feeling is that it would be more harmonic if this line of light is somewhat darker.
The shadow in her neck of her blouse seems quite sharp. Maybe making the edge of the shadow a little softer would be better?
Something is bothering me about her shoulder on the (for us) left. The shoulder that is in the shadow. I'm not sure but my feeling is that something is not right about that shoulder. As if it extends too much to the left. Maybe you can check the photograph you used.
Greetings,
Peter
