When I first looked at the photo something bothered me about the blur on the side of her head but I couldn't put my fingure on what exactly it was. One thing you can do to get that "Wow!" effect that you are looking for is to take the picture around sun rise or just before sun set (I prefer this time) when that golden light is casting on her face. Posing in front of a dark background will sometimes add to the appeal of the photo also. A lot of portraits are taken with longer mm lenses (I like a 105mm prime) if you have one. Hope that helps.
