Go for it!
Jonathan,
Why not give the competitions a try? This is a great piece and I think you will be pleased with the results if you enter. Maybe one regional portrait society, one national....
I wouldn't bother with general art society competitions unless the juror shows a prejudice towards realistic art and portraits specifically. Portraits have made a good showing lately in general exhibitions, but if you want good feedback for a portrait, enter a portrait competition. Better yet, enter several!

I agree with everyone's comments, a real prizewinner.
I can see her shining at competitions, she would dominate the room!
Very dramatic.
