I agree with Mark that it is usually better not to perfectly center a portrait , and that the center of interest in this photo is her eyes , but I find it slightly disturbing that she is facing out of the picture rather than into it . My preference would be slightly to the right of center in this shot . I disagree with Mark about cropping into the hair line as a general approach . In a tighter crop above the shoulders yes , but I like the space you've given her . Beautiful lighting by the way .

anne, i want to add this seperately so you could delete it...dont be afraid to cut about a fourth of the top her head for portraits. it enhances the attention on the eyes. also, your slightly over to the left which is good. move her over more to the left, or way over to the right. almost never center a portrait! dont be afraid to shoot a portrait in landscape with adds something different. just a few helpful hints, so please dont be offended. ;)
