Love the composition and focus!
To my untrained eye and uncalibrated monitor (standard disclaimer, lol!), however, it looks a little red. You might try adjusting the color/white balance.

maybe just doing some color cast work in PP would work though I do like the composition, but wouldve loved to see her looking into the camera too

Totally a keeper!! I love this shot! maybe because I love coffee? LOL I did a little play in photoshop to show you the potential. I agree its very red, but easily fixed pp. I cropped more, smoothed skin, and fixed the color. Play with it in your pp software, I think you will love your results! By no means am I saying my way is better... its YOUR photo, but just to show you a little color work and what playing around with it can do

i like this shot very much but i have to agree with everybody about the color balance.
try with levels and click on the middle eyedropper tool and click on the gray spot on the handle of the transparent mug and this will greatly change the color immediately without blowing out the highlights in the fingers. then you can still adjust with the middle slider if you want.

Aaahh..... here we go, it helps if I upload the right one! I realized that was blown out and fixed it, but apparently renamed it. ha!
Edited to say: I also fixed the blueish tent to it in this one. Sorry for the first one! LOL!
