Great, fun concept, but the lighting just doesn't work for me. The skin tone is also oddly bluish, which isn't complemented by the yellow/orange wrap (which is too blown out at lower left. The reflection in the glasses is really nice and crisp, but I'm undecided about the piece of shawl reflected in the (camera) right lens.

The reflection in the sunglasses is great. I just wish that the dof was a bit deeper so that the whole face was in focus. Cool idea none the less.

It's ok. When you lose eye contact then it becomes less personal. I find myself roaming around this image looking for a place to settle. The upper part of this is well focused (hairline, scarf, eyebrows) but fades away at the bottom. Without having her eyes as a focal point the mouth becomes more important, and that's falling outside the focal plane. Did you consider a severe crop removing the top third or so? I scrolled down to see what it felt like without the upper left creamy washout...kind of liked it. Anyway, I'm just thinking out loud. Good luck in the challenge.
