First off, good job; pat yourself on the back, the color work on this piece is splendid; very pleasing to look at. The choice of colors complement each other nicely. However, this only extends to the clothing and background. When it comes to her flesh, I think that a different shading style is in order. From what I see, it appears that the shadows you used on her flesh are purely dark; a shade of grey or black. You did use a darker (tanner) shade than what you used for the basic tone, but I personally don't think it fits. The shadows cast under her jaw and on her arms and fingers don't reflect the environment around her. Perhaps something redder would do. Something to bring out the properties of her flesh.
I would also have to say that the line art for this piece could use some work to be more realistic. If you'll notice, the curve of the fingers on her hands, her elbow, and face aren't quite convincing. Also, since you're drawing a 3/4 view of her face, her right eye could be a bit more compressed to express this. Either that, or the nose could be portrayed to match the angle at which she is looking.
Her dress around the middle seems a little too rigid; probably because the lines used to portray wrinkles are a little too hard, or perhaps too defined. Perhaps try to express the wrinkles in the clothing, or most of them anyway, through color and/or lighting/shadow like you did for her sleeves. I like her sleeves. Kudos for the props too. The transparency in the umbrella must've been interesting to pull off.
You used a good choice of perspective; a good distance and angle to portray her character in. I can't tell where she is looking though, probably partially due to what I said earlier with the 3/4 perspective. I almost want her to be looking at me, the viewer, and it almost seems like she does, but then it doesn't after a few moments. It just depends on which of her eyes I focus on.
Most of the highlights I thought were well done; well placed, well blended. They reflect the property of the material they are cast upon... except her skin.
That's all I have time for. Good job, keep practicing, hope this helps.
