hi, welcome to the forum.
I think this is a very nice portrait however i feel the over exposure on the shoulder and hair is a little distracting.
Maybe also try a small reflector to the right to add some light to the eyes.

Thats just my thoughts.

Like mkguy said, your overexposed a bit. I am also curious why you went with ISO 400. You have enough room to drop to ISO 200 and then if you EV comp by - 2/3 you should be able to get down to ISO 100 (unless 200 is your camera's base ISO)

I like the composition and the colours. A touch of warming would really set it off if you decide to PP a touch.

I'll go against the flow.
while the shirt back maybe a bit overexposed, it's not that bad and can be fixed in editing. if you we're trying to adjust it while taking the photo you would have gotten a nice shirt but a dark face.
I don't think her face is badly lit though a catch light in her eyes would have done it good.
all in all, great photo!

I think it looks good. The only thing I don't think belongs there would be the all white shirt. I don't think it fits in with the color.
