I really like your use of color in this painting. There is an atmospheric quality that is not quite real, and I like it. You could make it more "photographic", but I feel that it would destroy that quality that I have mentioned. It's almost Impressionistic. I like the roses that mimic the color in her face. I would describe this as more of an interpretation than a traditional portrait. It's a lovely, well balanced composition. Excellent light.
