Charming indeed. Great job with the lighting and composition, the choice of tone is also fine. Only nitpick is the white areas on her right cheek and hand. Could be just a tad softer and not so bright.
Wonderful portrait. She has an earnest smile and it's not cheesy. Beautiful eyes. The tonality is great with nice lighting. Maybe a smidge harsh on the cheeks and nose, but no points off for that. She's lovely. 7
