Honestly not muh there.
Highlights are to bright and shadows are to dark.
Try working with a little more even lighting.

window lighting tried to get it to form itself evenly and through out but it wouldn't listen

It's too soft for me. Try sharpening it a little, and maybe do a re-take without the shadows. I'd love to see a second try on this, it has potential.

It wouldn't listen because forming the light is the photographer's job.

I like the lighting effect, it works for me

I like the original a lot better than the processed one. It seems more natural or something.

I think it would have been better if you had used a simple flash fill to make the lightining even. Any how nice composition.

I like what you did, but the shadows are too dark on her face for my taste. I love the softness you created with it though. Very angelic. But work on the highs and lows a bit more.
