The CA here makes for a great effect! The bokeh from the FA 50mm sure is great!

She is sweet.

And I like the portrait. Well done.

Next time try to keep the tip of the nose within the cheekline. That avoids making it look long and will not interrupt the cheekline. Also, changing the angle that way will help to better bring out the far eye.

I like it! Right past the nose her face starts to fade out into bokeh.

Just as Class A said; the cheek line... it kinda creates a strange area around the mouth, where it doesnt look quite right... although I really like it anyway

thanks for your comments ;o )
yes, the nose looks a little bit long and her left eye is not sharp enough, but it was a candid, so I'm lucky to get a little bit of her soul in this photo.
