Welcome to the forum. First of all - if you want critique on the post processing you did, you might want to tell us what you did, and perhaps link to a photo from before the PP.

The girl looks nice, with big brown eyes, but her skin seems artificially smooth with artificially exaggerated wrinkles around her smile - probably due to the PP.

I think the lighting is nice, but I'd have to see a non-processed version to really comment on it. As far as the composition goes, I'd give her some more room on the right-hand side of the photo. That would have also showed her other shoulder - given the angle at which her shoulders are tilted it might give an even stronger photo.
