On the assumption that you are sincere in wanting critique:
It is a great shot, pensive, lot's of emotional depth. All my comments are what I would do differently, but it is your photograph.

-I would use less vignetting, especially on the shadowed right (her left). It is fine on her right.
-There are two lights visible in the right eye. This is confusing to the viewer. Catchlights are an emulation of the sun. The catchlight on the left eye is a bit too centered. Both of these are unnatural. The model for using catchlights is the sun. Only one of these in our planetary system. LOL
-I would have let her chin print, but I would also have kept the top of her head.

This is a great example of split lighting. Aside from the catchlights it is almost perfectly executed.

YMMV

Thank you very much Reinaldokoo for commenting. I took the picture by the window with Lou looking out and the catch lights are as they are in the original picture, it was a sunny day with the sun coming onto this side of the house. Due to the window being close to the wall and I only had my bridge camera with me I could only get a tight picture so I cropped to get the size I wanted for printing. I am pleased you like it apart from the catch lights... :D

Very nicely done. You have the eyes tack sharp and that is always a key to face portraits. As for composition that is up to you. I think the lighting may have produced a bit of flatness to the over all image but based on what you have done I would suggest you keep doing more portraits as you are starting off very well.


Thank you very much mper812 for looking and commenting. I still have a long way to go in doing portraits, maybe the light would have been better if I had taken it on a less sunny day as it was very bright by the window.. :D

Absolutely beautiful.
Nobody else has mentioned it but I see a little shard of blue in her left eye. Just thought I'd mention it in case you're doing some prints...
