Shot and selected for the FS before the Portrait challenge was announced but I imagine people will be somewhat portraited-out while voting on the FS....

I don't often verbalise/vocalise my thoughts when voting, however, when this image came up I actually said, out-load, "WOW!" This is an absolutely amazing image. Tones, details, composition... all spectacular! Congratulations on an outstanding Free Study entry... will, without a doubt, do very well.
This looks like Paul's fabulous work. Adore the unusual rotation. Might have lightened the shadow on the edge of her upper lip just a tiny bit so it didn't look so much like a blemish.
Nice selective DOF isolates the important parts of her lovely face very well but the effect feels photoshopped rather than the lens which would I feel give a nicer result, anyway good luck.
