Yay, I scored higher than I thought I would in this challenge, and even scored higher than librodo himself!
I am quite pleased with myself and have discovered that I really enjoy portrait photography. Something I will have to do more of in the future.
Thanks for all the comments, especially timfy for the really helpful critique

Hey Kristina. I gave this a 7. I find this to be a lovely image. Aspects I liked included nice clean editing with good work on her eyes. The fan offers up a nice pattern without being too aggressive or scene stealing. The natural light is pleasing and your colors are as well. Couple of things that I think could have made this stand out more - I think I would prefer if you had shot a bit above her to make her look up even just a little bit to gain some separation between her pupil and lower lid (which I believe would make her eyes stand out even more). This would also give her a more intentionally looking gaze that could possibly even add to the feel of her hiding behind the fan. From the perspective that are at here she is just looking straight on at the camera - which is not as dramatic. A reflector on camera right would have also offered up a bit of fill to not have that side as much in the dark. And as I look at this image just a bit longer a slight shift in the fan position to make more of a diagonal across her face, letting in more of her face on the left (maybe even the edge of her lips) may have been nice. I think you have a very nice image here and I hope it is scoring well for you.
