This is a very nice shot. My only comment is that it feels like there should be a litle more light coming from camera right.

Priviet (In Russian Hello), Antonio!
Obrigado for your comments and critique. Now its my turn :-)
I like your portrait!
At the same time I have some suggestions:
1. Composition. For me this facew is too centered.
What about deleting some space on the top and on the right of the photo? I'd crop even some of her head also. To place eyes in "3/8-5/8" place...
2. I'd make some work with eyes. Using lasso and shift - make a new layer of eyes only (Layer via copy).
Use 'Soft light' blending mode. Use white brush for 'brightening' eyes. You even can use another color (not white). Set opacity to what you need...
Eyes will look more attractive...
Congrats on very good work,
Yuri

mknphotos - Thank you for your comment. Regards.

Yuri - Olá (hello). Thank you for your comment.
I appreciate it.
I will make your suggestions on this portrait later on and I'll show you the results, when I have time.
I rather agree with you about the composition...
I do have others portraits at the same place,the same light and scenario (?) and your recommendations are usefull for them also.
The question about the eyes is an important one and I will work on it with care.
Obrigado.
