Elizabeth, I never know how to interpret the deafening silence, either. I had only one response to my intro but I've gotten into some great conversations on technical issues. That said, I do not do pastels, yet, although I admire them greatly. I think you've handled the medium very well. Also you've taken the subject out of a cluttered and not especially aesthetically-appealing background and placed her in a pleasing setting. I'm wondering why you softened the shadows on the face as much as you did although the results look good. I prefer more shadow, myself. But overall it's quite nice, and I'll bet the subject is very pleased with it.
