Renee,
A lovely portrait! There are the obvious things, like the way you have captured her sweet expression, and the white, grey and black "color" scheme that introduces startling graphic accents and yet draws attention to the color in her face and hair. The more subtle, but very important, thing (in my mind) is how you placed her on the canvas: slightly down and to the side. There's an exquisite balance in this placement that would not have worked if she had been ever so slightly lower or more to the side. If she had been higher and more centered, it would have worked, but the composition would have been much more commonplace. That's worth studying!
