Very good job Catherine.

I couldn't resist adding my comments since several things did jump out at me however.

The hair that forms a bun (?) shape could use some variation in shape (it becomes a geometric object) and an earlier suggestion to vary your edges along the silhouette on the back of the head will help a lot.

I should also say that it does not look as though you gave the shirt as much attention and interest as the wonderful face. It seems rather monochromatic and edges are uniformly rendered. Paint it with the same enthusisam as the head.

Good Luck!
