Be considerate. Please post the photo in your thread.

Do not add it as an attachment, rather add it as an image on a host site.

IM (very) HO, I'd say:

1. Nice lighting
2. Good catch-lights in both eyes
3. Possibly consider reframing to lift eyes into upper third
4. Eyes could be a bit sharper
5. Would benefit from turning shoulders one way or the other so they are not level
6. Consider turning head slightly towards light.

Agreed!

Could add to #6 a little... Turn the shoulders so that they are not square to the camera too.
