Might have better with a different color BG. The hat band disappears into the white. better yet, lose the hat completely, she's cute enough not to need it.
This is nice. I think it could be improved if you could have lit under the hat a bit to get the darkness out of her eyes just a bit. Or go the other way and make it more mysterious with darker shading.
I like the picture from the wrist up. She has a pretty smile very relaxed. Also with the hat being b&w a pink background I think would make it "pop," as well as add a touch more feminine touch.
