This is a lively piece, and a good critique by Elizabeth. I would add this: I shy away from use of yellow ocher anymore in skin tones, because it can draw the eye. Here, you have used it in certain places perhaps experimentally, but it does not add to the piece, but seems to draw the eye without reason. Yellow ocher is a very vibrant color. I like it to tone down alizarin crimson, or to blend with darker colors. But in flesh tones, it will jump out at you. It shows up more in digital shots.

Nice job!
