Excellent composition Karen, and sharp all over. Nice clean bg, though I can't decide about the bg colour, seems a bit bright, but that's my personal preference, great shot.
Nice composition Karen but a little big in the frame for me. Assuming it is cropped I wonder if the head might not look a little sharper at a smaller size? Could be my monitor or eyes as Heath finds it sharp all over.

This is nearly full frame Maggie just a tad off for comp it looks sharp to me though, i have a bigger version that looks even sharper

Sharp enough for me Karen and a good head angle.
The BKGR comes across a bit harsh on my screen, I would tone it down a touch personally.
Cheers
