Geri,

You've done quite a nice job on the portrait of Danielle. I especially like the flow of the hair. I have only one tiny suggestion. I think the highlights on the eyes would be better somewhat de-emphasized to avoid a glassy-eyed appearance. These are the reflections of the primary light source on the moist surface of the eye. Making them slightly darker and/or smaller would take care of it and let the viewer appreciate the beauty of your subject and the way you have captured her without distraction.

Keep in mind that I sometimes find things to criticise in Rembrandt as well, and I hold him in the highest esteem.
