The catch light dead center in the eyes is a bit spooky but I like the portrait. The softness and the tones are very nice.
 
I like the space her folded arm creates but would crop the bottom out to remove the darker triangle shape as it tends to distract me. I also would crop 1/3 from right eliminating the left eye altogether. The two eyes together don't work together for me as they each appear to have a different shape and expression, and then the pointed finger wouldn't lead you out so much.
My 2.875 cents worth (inflation)
