With this framing it feels somewhat off balance, but otherwise I like it.
 
I think its amazing.
 
I really like this....Would not change a thing.....Great work.....

How would you frame it?
I would give rather more space to her left, than to the right (the shady part). Deep, black shadows on her right outweigh the not very wide to begin with zone of highlights. Then is her gaze. Not very clear, where she is looking, the only sure thing is, she looks to the short side of the frame and above the viewer. She is not engaging the viewer with her eyes, seems to distant.
Nice work with retouching !

I disagree. The way the arm, wrist and hand all flow into the face, which is inline.

Thanks for the feedback.

I may have given just a tiny bit more room above the ladies head, but what do I know. Very nice
 
Very nice. This portrait feels much more natural.
 
Excellent work, as usual. Beautiful lady, as well.
