 I quite like this shot. I have tried some post processing with this picture, little things, and also played with the colour curve and I like the effect. I hope it does well.

Hi Kim,
This is a good effort, especially considering how new you are to tools like curves. Time and practise will go a long way. Given that this was an Advanced Editting challenge I would recommend you spend tiem really drawign those eyes and lashes out - focuing on the detail. This tutorial is brilliant: linky.
Otherwise I think thi shot drew out 12 comments during voting, which is pretty good going. The points made below are pretty useful and are worth paying attention to. I think the blow-outs at the top are the biggest distraction from all that is good in the shot.

Nice colour palette here, very warm. Good crop too giving an unusual angle that works for me. A pity the hair highlights are blown.

I tend to like to see eye contact in a portrait. This moves into the candid type of photography to me.

harsh lighting and soft focus hurt this ... would love to see more detail in those long lashes

I think that the crop here is too tight and the focus is not quite there. The shot also seems overexposed, sorry

Not a fan of this close crop, or the overblown highlights
