Great capture. Excellent lighting and good focus. Not sure about the expression on her face. (Almost looks like she is chewing something).

Good separation from the background. I might want to see a bit more light on the right hand side of her head. (Reflector would help there I think)

The soft focus in this could be seen as a negative, but the effect is very pleasing to the eye and compliments the model very well. Nicely shadowed with effective lighting, it is a very worthy entry into the challenge. A little sharper focus would have been a good choice, but this works as well.
