I think you put forward more appropriately. So I'd like to ask is the framing and lighting acceptable?
I'm not sure I understand the question... "Acceptable".. as in? You were obviously going for some artistic goal, it can't be measured by the rule of thirds and rembrandt lighting pattern...
In general "quality" aspect all I can say it's not "cover-ready".
Most and formost it's not clear what you were going for... Face? Jewelry?
The only thing in focus is her cheek, which has no details and no possible interest for a viewer. The rest is OOF and makes the image look kinda soft..

Thanks so much for your comments. I find this portrait is something quite different from my other portraiture shots and I always look for something not repeating. I went for a slight soft focusing and also not an intentional jewelry shot. But since she was wearing jewelry, I gave it a glow.
You can say I went for some artistic appeal which you rightly pointed out its hard to measure. Perhaps the most 2 important person to ask is whether the client or myself like it. Notwithstanding that, just to seek opinion has it got an appeal in general? Maybe a scale of 1 to 5 (being the highest) ??
