Maybe enhance the colour of the eyes and a bit of photoshopping to get rid of the paler skin on her shoulders. Other than that, it looks great. She ha a wonderful smile.

"pepsodent" ... How about a lens flare on her teeth and the title "Dirty mouth? Clean it up with..."

Joking aside, she has a lovely smile. Your photo is very nice. I only have a little nitpick about the blown out area in her hair, and I think would crop out some of the dead space above her head.

nice smile!
What about fooling around with a bit of contrast? What is that white thing on her right harm? may be you'll want to clone it out. Did you also consider a bit of skin tanning? If not, the picture is also O.K.
What a smile!

I'm no expert, but I wouldn't touch it - I think it looks great as it is.

I enjoyed the photo. I think it is a great photo as is. If i were to touch it I would just touch up the skin a little, but I am no expert. Great smile and pose.

Clone the straw out on arm, i agree with cropping out some of the space over her head, but other than that sharpen the eyes so they will share some of the smiles charm. Overall a really great portrait. Love the DOF and natural light coming in. Great Job.
