this shot seems blurry to me, also something is off on the grey area, like you blurred it then tried to sharpen with a tool. Sorry

Too many shadows and the necklace is a distraction to me. IMHO, limit distractions such as jewelry and props because a portrait should bring the viewer's focus to the subject, not the clasp of the necklace or shadows. I also like to see the eyes facing the same direction as the face. Hope this helps!

With a bit better focus or crispness around her face, and maybe having the clasp of the necklace not showing, this would be a really nice portrait.

Nice shot, I would have picked a little more clarity if it were my photo.

This appears out of focus.Upper lighting is causing unflattering shadows under her eyes and her hair appears as a mass of darkness. Catch light in eyes is good. Necklace turned to show catch is a bit distracting. Expression and pose are good.

The picture is not sharp, but it doesn't seem a problem with DOF (maybe focus?)

I don't like the lighting here, to much random shadows/highlights. Also the background is distracting. 4

Focus is off or just too soft on this. The other person beside her is distracting. But the light is good, and the pose is nice.

What a fun shot. Looks like someone is going to be in trouble for taking this shot! ..seriously, Love the framing of her face with the slightly out of focus leaves. Works wonderfully with her.
