Even though the light on the face is good I found it a bit flat in the way the light rolls off...probably the PP is the culprit. On the other hand I would like to see the complete head or a closer frame, right now I found it to be in the uncomfortable middle.

Monitors have a lot to do with what we see, but her eyes look a little too dark to me. I can't see a distinction between her pupils and irises. No matter how dark her eyes are, we should be able to see that and pick up on the "life" in them. You might selectively lighten them a touch in an image editor.
It's a powerful image. At first glance, there is nothing to say about the photo, as emotions take over.
However, there are a couple of things that detract from the overall experience, once your eyes adjust... in addition to what has already been said, I would like to have the blurry hand out of the image. I do realize it is tough to control these things, but it certainly would be better.
Also, and this is a small nitpick, the strand of hair coming down in front of her right eye, more to the side actually... can be cloned out with no fuss.
Still, a powerful image... thanks for sharing!
