Debra,

You are doing a beautiful job. I especially like your flesh tones and your handling of the teeth. Just a few suggestions:

-The hair is too blue, darken it and warm it up with say (Ultramarine, Alizrion, and touch of Orange)

-The glasses are not symmetrical and the highlights high on the glasses I like but I would subdue the ones on the bottom part of the frame.

-I would recommend darkening the following
  • underside of the hat,
    pearls as they go back on the neck
    earrings
    carnation only lightly
    possibly the shoulders where the hat would give some shade
I realize this is from a photo that was most likely with a flash., in such instances I would get creative with some of the above mentioned items.

Good luck on your delivery tomorrow.

Daniel
