Uhm, what happened in postprocessing? It's hard to determine if there's a good photo underneath, right now it's just a mess of way-oversharpened and over-smoothed regions.
Wow, looks like editing gone wild here...the seemingly random blurring and obvious cloning or some such on the eyebrow and around the nose really hurt this shot /4
Odd artifacts, especially at her eyebrow, are distracting. Image is odd in that the smooth areas scream excessive noise removal, and the hair and eyebrow display excessive sharpening.
