Hello Patricia,

You might try pushing her hair back away from his right eye a bit. I think this would help clarify his face a little more. Also, I would reduce the intensity of the dark line of her blouse. I've tried to make the hair adjustments with my crude editor. You could even go a little further and remove all the curls in front of his face. See what you think.

I agree about the highlights on and above her lip. I would reduce them ever so slightly.

Very nice job.
