Hey there bud, so yea, I'll try to critique this as good as I can.
First of all, the portrait is nicely done, the framing is interesting and the colors work nicely together.
I do really like this piece, but there are a couple of thing that bother me.
First of all, I think a bit more attention to her outfit would help the piece a lot. You have the values down, but I can't quite figure out what exactly is going on at her shoulder and neck. It almost looks like the neck sits on top of the fabric.
Showing some more of her collar bone may solve this problem.
second of all, this is a minor thing and can be considered as a personal preference, but I think some more orange glow on the hair and the forehead/nose will be beneficial to the portrait. that as well as some more blue light from below
(which you already did, but I feel like it would touch her lips as well if it reaches the nose) and also some blue highlights in the eyes would make them look more wet.
And the last thing that I wanted to point out is that the background's values should be a bit brighter down to make the face (which has darker values) pop a bit more.
I hope this helped you a bit, I actually would like to do a paint-over for you on this one.
Anyway, have a great day!
ps: don't mind my ratings, the system deviantart has is not that great.
