Filadi,

Just a word of caution. You have captured something magical in her expression that is even more appealing than the photos. Making minor corrections to make the painting more technically correct may ruin the magic you have created.

Sometimes the hardest thing for an artist to do is to know when to stop. STOP! Don't touch the face. Learn from the experience and move on. The only adjustment I would make is to gray the yellow in the background. This is a really interesting and appealing painting that draws the viewer into it. It really doesn't need anything else.
