Hi John,
I like the pose and the general colors of this portrait. But since this is the critic section I will add something that comes to me when looking at a first glance .
The contours of the hair is a bit closed against the background. Try to make some transitions between the hair color and the background.
The skin colors are all in a limited value scale. I would like to have greater differences in the values since the skin colors is the main motive, I guess.
The color of the white blouse is OK against the gray background, but I think that the hand should be placed in another position relating to the frame. It looks accidental with the little finger being divided in half.
