Beautiful painting. I like the likeness and the feeling of unity between them.

I'm not qualified to address the larger issues, but I'll toss in my two cents about one detail. In the photo, the woman's head is turned very slightly to our left. In the painting, it looks more straight on, maybe because the jaw and smile on the lit side on our left is a little fuller. OK so far, but on the shadowed side, it makes the nasolabial fold look pulled out unnaturally far. Also in this area, the lighter value over the fold is too linear and doesn't blend convincingly into her cheek.
