Late afternoon pick under a weeping willow. Debated on the full image or this crop, finally went with the crop.
Added a blur filter to the entire image, used the history brush on the eyes, hair and mouth, adjusted contrast and selective color. Not a dynamic expression but I was happy with the basic look of the shot.

I'm not good at technical critiques...there's something about the nose that looks...too light or something compared to the rest of her skin tones. I like the hair partially covering the one eye and the eyes themselves.
I am not too sure about the reflection in her eyes, wish it had just been a catchlight rather than such a large area of her eye and also it appears that you have dodged over her nose area a bit too much compared to the rest of her face maybe to get a soft focus effect? A bit of burning on her lips would have made her lips look a bit more voluptuous. It also appears that you have tried to blur the green behind her but this has bled into her hair. Hope this helps.
A bit too much neat image I think, but it does not seem to detract too much from your photograph. Your model is stunning with lovely big eyes. Nice Work.
Beautiful intense eyes. I like the hair over the right eye. The softness might be just a touch overdone - it tends to flatten her skin tones a bit too much for my taste. The pearlescenht lip color is attractive as well. Lovely model!
