calm down and take a deep breath. now, i like it, nice lips and cool color usage. i would like to suggest sharpening other parts of her face so that her lips dont overwhelm the rest of the pict. otherwise...i like, i like.

Oh forgot to crit..
The texture on the hat does'nt simulate the fabric very well. It makes it flat, cause it does'nt follow the shape of the hat.
The lips are too sharp compared to the rest, it takes away the focus from the rest. You could maybe tone them down a little. They are also out of perspective compared to the rest of teh face. the shading are also misleading in some areas like on the cheekbone.
Hope this can help

And yeah, the hat rocks!
