Brunella,

I agree with Ant that this is a very good start. In my humble opinion I think the hand does not read well. I believe you are going to end up with a very nice portrait that is distracted by the posing of the hand.

Just for the sake of exercise I have made a modification to the composition. Something for your consideration as you go forward. The bottom portion could be in vignette with some sweeping brush strokes.

Best of luck
