She's gorgeous...and haunting. After that immediate emotional reaction, my eye was very pleased to travel the "triangle of pink" from her lips to the rose and then her gown and back again, and similarly with the blues in her eyes, hair and bangles. It is a superb use of (and composition with) colour. I also love the way you've repeated curved lines and spirals in everything from the folds of her gown and the stem of the rose to the background pattern. It gives a real sense of animation--there is a powerful and sensual potential to her, if that makes any sense.
(And of course I noticed--and squeed over--the fibula fastening her gown! Your attention to detail definitely pays off :-)
