I don't quite know what to rate this. I like the expression on her face, but the pines in the backtground make it look a bit messy. Maybe next time try to open up your aperture a bit more, to make the background more blurry. I do like that she's kind of looking down on the camera, which makes it slightly more dynamic.
Please don't take this speech the wrong way :p I do like this portrait.
Cheers,
Peter

Red sweater works well, background is pretty. Nice contrast of colors. A little more crop on the right may work better to get rid of the tee pee thing.

I'd crop tight if only to remove the hut on the lower right of the frame.
