Garth,
Very nice! I find myself looking at it for long periods of time, almost zoning out (a desirable state for me). I like the contemplative mood very much.
As for critique, I also find the mole to be over-modeled and distracting, as though I were a doctor examining it.
I could start nitpicking and tell you that I also see a slight droop in the line of the upper lip, compared to the photo where it is fuller and flatter. The corner of her mouth seems a tiny bit too stretched out. But you might not even care about these things, since the painting works so well (and the woman's expression is perhaps more intriguing) without absolute loyalty to the photo.
