I would agree with Allan and add that the edge of that shadow pattern that leaves the bottom of her mouth could more softly transition as it goes up the side of her face on our right. There are a couple of places where the dark vs light becomes a bit too sharp. I think feathering off a bit more half tone towards the dark might help.

One other thing, the line of the top of her dress on our left as it moves up toward her right shoulder and bends down, seems very sharp for what is otherwise a very soft piece.

These are nit type things, overall a very successful piece.
