Good, I've waited for this post to rise above the list as I know I should review this now!
Impressive close up portraiture with dramatic lighting effect.
Expressive eyes with two light sources reflecting.
Hair has still that fading outline to give it a proper perspective as separated from the backdrop.
Can you increase the black contrast to correct that bit of sepia undertone.
For more votes also!
Good luck!

She is beautiful. I would have made her look more natural, without the vignette, and maybe a lighter background. It is still a very nice Photo.

Thank you so very much for the lovely review, and of course I could have done like you suggest, but this was not what I was after.

You are most welcome.

How lovely to have a daughter of whom you can be so proud. This photograph shows in her eyes that she is looking back at you with equal affection. Lovely soft lighting and illumination from behind.

AS I look at this al my eyes are drawn to is the face I think the brushed out background could have added some depth and less of a single dimension. All in all good work and thank you for sharing.

Great job keeping capturing the smooth skin and captivating eyes. The shading does well to draw attention to the emotion and clarity of the photo.

A very good edit on your little baby who has grown into a most beautiful woman. Great focus, frame and exposure to show your precious family member. A special photo for a proud parent.

Amazing portrait! I love the expression in her face, the color of the photograph and the frame. As well as how her smile looks and how the eyes stand out. Really well done portrait! Thanks for sharing

A girl with perfect skin. Nice effects of glowing skin and face. Good separation from BG using spotlight on BG. Instant impact. Good exposure, framing, contrast and detail.
