Instead of directly critiquing your image, I'm just going to say that portraits work best when there is nothing other than the subject to distract the viewer from the main object of the image. The above photo is nice, no doubt, but might be even better if it were less "busy".  I would also caution using too much fill flash on portraits. You tend to lose the subtle details that directional light will impart on a subject. I'm not sure this really applies in your case but it's something to be aware of, especially when shooting a complicated portrait with lots of details.</p></blockquote><p></p>
