Thank you for your comments and ratings

Quite a nice portrait but...far too grey. The photo needs more contrast.
May I suggest that to rectify this in an editor, you need to adjust the levels, then to get more contrast and tones use the curve command

I like it dark but not as dark as you have it and not as light as Nick suggests. Of course the lighter it gets the more detail in the face. But the darkness adds a tone of mystery to the subject which with a beautiful subject as her, mixes well.
