A tighter crop, almost to the ear and almost to the top of the horizontal part of the arm would preserve the major element in the composition and possibly improve the impact of the image?

This would be a pretty good shot but for a few things. Mainly the string/pet hair/lint, or whatever it is on your shirt is very distracting. Instead of focusing my attention on your eyes, I immediately start to think, "There sure is alot of stuff on her shirt". Next time take a second and run a lint roller over the shirt if you think about it. However, if you are like me, you don't usually think about that at first. No problem. This is a member challenge with Advanced Editing, so next time just clone the stuff out.

Second, I find the image to be a little flat. By flat I mean a lack of contrast. (some people use terminology differently so I want you to know for sure how I am using "flat")This is really more of a personal opinion. I tend to like higher contrast so for me this photo would benefit from a contrast boost.

Those few things make me score you kind of low, but other than those things it is a nice photo. :-)
