Vianna,
You are such a master of color! This is so strong in every way I can think of. The composition is just right, simple but not static. The way her head is tilted forward and slightly off-center, and the way her hands are holding the shawl, indicate forward motion, as if she's intending to go somewhere. This is brilliant because the shawl is not a "prop" but a garment. And of course its color and substance make it a prominent element in the painting. Another striking thing is the red and green, as you say. Then the less intense red of her hair with the yellow-green add this unexpected dimension to the red-green contrast. Last but not least, I think she has a unique face and fascinating expression.
