The bright background is taking attention away from the woman, who's stuck between seemingly back-lit, but front-lit at the same time, so things feel flat. I'm not sure what the blurry artifacts are in some random places, so maybe you can clarify that. I like the way you render her face and hands, and using a darker brown for both shape of shade as well as outline for her arm.
