Lisa, you had a lot of very good and well expressed advice here. My little opinion is that those loose lines David has described so well, if you decide to put them in, should really be lines, I mean straight lines, that give solidity to the figure like a pedestal.
This is so difficult that I think you will in the end decide to continue the drawing to the edge. As it is there is some difference between the confident way with which you have handled the head and the more hesitant work on the shoulders.
Life/photo work: you are in good company! It is very hard for me to admit that my life work is not technically as good some times as the one from photos, but much, much more interesting!
Best of luck
PS I would also lightly soften her irises, they are very lively but I find them a bit sharp.
