It's a touch distracting that her hair is soft on her left (our right) but not on her right (our left). Good lighting and color, though

Very cute and good lighting. I do need to put on the uniform of the JPEG police for a moment... (Ahem, don't look while I change.)

There is some compression artifacting visible, mostly around the glasses, but a touch around the lips and teeth as well. There is also a bright spot on her upper right cheek, just under the corner of the glasses. I'm not sure if that is JPEG artifacts or from light refraction through the glasses. Looking at your file size, you only used about half the file size that was available to you. You can use less compression and eliminate a lot of those artifacts. Alway use the lowest compression ration that will get your shot in under the filesize limit for a challenge.

Lighting is great except for the touch of glare below her eye. Exposure is very sharp. nice work.

a technically well shot photo. I kinda wish the model looked a little more relaxed.

Good lighting and coloring. The dark green contrast in the sweater helps draw the eye to her face and especially her eyes. Well done.

I like the nice soft focus, I am not sure about the pose.

A slightly lower camera angle wouldn't have put the top rims of the glasses so close to the pupils.
