Nice mysterious type of portrait.....Not sure how I like the tinting? Was it intentional or lighting or post work? I think the eyes or should I say eye could be brought out a bit more .
I am no expert on portrait so maybe someone with more input will chime in....

I like it! my only opinion is that it seems a bit too "bright" in the cleavage area.

I do like the picture, but i would take out some of the yellow. Its a good color for the effect you want but its still a little too much. Nice portrait!

Just a personal preference, but I would be tempted to crop out the area below her chin and let her eyes become the main focus. I found that looking at the picture for the first time my eye initially drawn to her face, but was forced downward due to the light on her chest.

In an editing application brighten the eyes and maybe a bit of sharpening...just to bring more focus to the eye. The one you can see is a bit dull in color.....

I agree with Atlas88, crop the image to focus on her face a bit more. Her eye looks very enchanting, so you want to draw that out, not her chest. Great portrait though!!!
