Yeah I'm going with Nay on this. Plus there's an iron or something right next to her head and it looks like a double chin angle, not the most flattering of photos.
I'm with the nay's, it's a good idea, but not quite worked in this case. The major distraction on the right of I'm not sure what just dominates the image too much. Possibly if you had been further forward and just had a bit of the chair and the veil it would have been there.
I'm here to learn so please feel free to give me constructive criticism to help me become the photographer I desire to be.

Agreed. This is a classic example of one of those shots where you FEEL amazing right when you click it, or when you first see it on the camera / computer, ...but unfortunately at the end of the day, after you stare at it for a while, you realize that while it will probably be a touching photo to the client, (especially with just a bit of cropping) ...it's just not flawless enough to win an international contest or something. ()
But, there's nothing wrong with that?! The good news is, you identified the potential moment, framed the shot, and made it happen as best it could. Unless you were just snapping wildly, I would say that this is a step on the path, even a foundation upon which you will build, ...a stunning body of work and a highly defined style, in the long run.
The thing to do now is, simply identify what gives this shot lots of potential and also what takes away from it's impact. That way, next time for example it will be INSTINCT for you to lean in a little closer, nail the focus, etc.
Thank you all, i liked the images at first glance, but the more i look at it the more i don't like it. There is something definitely wrong with this lol. Going in the trash can, cause i tried cropping different ways and it just doesn't work. Meh!

I would probably toss it in favor of another photo.
