James - Hi! This is beautifully and very sensitively rendered.

This is critiques, though so. . . there are two areas that I'm wondering about. The first is along the eastern edge of her neck, there's a fairly sharp, too sharp? angle there that is also where some relatively strong shadows meet and form an X of sorts... I'm wondering if this is correct?
The other area that draws my attention is the top of her hair/head. It appears that her hair is bulging upward there. . . This may very well be how it was, but I'm wondering if it might read better if it wasn't so pronounced?

Anyhow, her features, especially those eyes, are beautifully done. Thanks for sharing this!

P.S. You might also want to check the value of that necklace where it moves into the shadow side of her neck. . .
