First of all...Wow!! Beautiful painting, subject, pose, values and incredible work with the clothes. So to start with, I love the painting and wish I could paint in a similar fashion.
Now my input on the critical side (nitpicking). I think the blue sky on the left is slightly distracting and could be left out. I think your hue of the yellow/orange scarf changes too much from left (highlight) to right. Lastly, the reflected light back on the right arm immediately makes me think studio set-up and takes away from the natural beauty of an outdoor scene. Clearly there could be an object outdoors that could do this but that was my first reaction.
Your work reminds me of William Bouguereau's work that was often posed in a studio. I'd love to see more!
