I didn't care for the harsh lighting on this subject. I know this is a portrait of the subject in her environment but the cigarette pack and matches on the table just looked like clutter to me. I thought the colors of her shirt, the table cloth, the flower, and the ruby glass clashed awfully and this might have been nicer in black and white.
I looked at the rest of your portfolio, much of what I thought was quite good, and this shot, IMO does not do it justice. I don't need photos to be pretty (just check my favorites) but this one didn't move me the way it should have.
