Hi Lon!
First of all, I appreciate you taking the time to critique my painting. You were right on the money as well!

I understand how ochre type colors look bad on digital cameras.

Yes, Lon, and I have also noticed that in almost every painting I photograph. Getting the saturation level/brightness level is hard to judge until you upload your pictures to the computer into your photo editing program. You are right though - too much yellow going on in her left forehead area and I have since toned that down.
You also mentioned what a cool tool (and instant almost) the digital is for seeing all the color mistakes and that is exactly why I take these pictures during my painting process. It shows me all kinds of things to work on - from anatomy problems to value problem areas. I especially love the black and white and sepia pictures I take of my paintings. That helps me so much in the early stages.
I have to let this dry now before I can fine tune it using a medium. I am so happy that I was able to get this far without the use of medium - just straight oils.
Thank you again for your time and valuable advice, Lon.
