Perhaps you should finish your pieces before posting? There are forums and stuff you can go to to get feedback on wips, whereas PJ is intended to be a gallery of finished products.

The piece: Pretty smooth and nice, but perhaps too smooth. I think this would benefit grealy from some way, way darker shadows and more striking highlights.The hair is needlessly flat. You can add very bright highlights to hair. The folds of the dress especially would benefit from a some much sharper definition in the form of dark, dark shadows.
