Potrait

A very cultured friend was telling me about this book she read called desert dawn by Waris Dirie... and I googled it which lead me to the book cover..

I thought she has a nice smile and I really wanted to capture that while trying to learn color (wanted to learn about limited color pallete) so here is my feeble attempt at human portrait after many months. Really feel there is something wrong w the eyes/mouth placement but I cant put my fingers around it.
