Hi, Abdi.
Very nice work, although I find the curve-echo of the head-dress and her shoulders too parallel in width. Presuming the head-dress to be ethnically accurate I suppose you had no choice.
It may be a simple question of the scan you used, but your lady's eyes seem to lack dimension; too flat. They don't come across as spherical.
The contrast in the features from lightest tone to darkest also seems rather limited. I would also have left out the cast-shadow that follows her jaw line, or blended it into the lighter background tones. It seems to projects flash-photography?
You've created a number of "bands" within your work; i.e. the curve of her fan being virtually parallel to the curve of her shoulder. Was this intentional in your composition?
I find your palette of colors very appealing, and your model's focus is very natural.
Best Regards,
Dave
