Nice portrait. I like the detail on the face. And I like the contrast between the red jacket and skin color. I just can't stop from looking into the woman's eyes. The only thing I'd suggest is crop off a little bottom part. I'd have cropped off the white color stripe. 9

It's a beautiful portrait, the emotion and the expression are beautiful. The skin tones seems to be coming off almost metalic on my screen which is a bit unsettling.
