Tina:  Beautiful?  Oh, my, yes.

When I first saw this, I had my browser in a normal window, and I couldn't 
see the bottom of the frame.  I switched to full screen mode, and only then 
did I see the white paper in her left hand.  The paper distracts. I like it 
better if that is cropped out. But cropped that way, it is very tight, and 
the right hand looks disembodied, so I'm not 100% sure.  Maybe burn it down 
a tad?

The harsh light and the several white splashes may make this one of those 
shots that you can't get "perfect," but the subject is so beautiful that no 
one will care.   :-)
