It's nicely posed and lit, but the skin is over-smoothed.

But yes, I hold the view that a person's skin should look like that person's skin, for real. A minority view, perhaps, in these instagram filter days!

Don't mind me: there's lots of great things about the pic :)

I agree . . pull back a bit on the skin smoothing

A hair light will do that. Read this

Lovely pic!
I am not a portrait guy, but Yes, a bit of less skin smoothening and she has plenty of stray hair around.. it doesn't matter as there is no light behind.., but I am big fan that kind of that noodles hair..  ;D
