Magical composition! ... This shot cropped a TAD tighter on the right (just on the edge of the highlighted hair) and a bit on the left (to cut out that distracting shadow in the bottom corner) would make it a 10 for me ... 9

Beautiful photo! Excellent focus and lighting - Really captures the subject!

My own personal preference would have been to crop out just a little of the white space on the left or just to remove the shadow in the bottom left.

I like the expression on her face, sort of puzzled but thinking something through. Nice job catching that.

Very lovely portrait of a very lovely girl. Beautiful lighting, excellent b&w treatment. Love the pose and expression and the use of negative space and shallow DOF. Well done!

Edit to add: My pick for top 5.
