Steve it looks wonderful. The only thing I can say critically is that the index finger doesn't quite look right to me -- something about the bulbous lightened area near the middle knuckle. I can 'see' the comments about the sense that maybe the hand isn't hers. I wish it were my hand! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

PS - I agree with Jeff. Don't worry about college. Your portfolio is good already and would likely get you into any school of your choosing. If you are hoping for scholarships spend as much time as you can researching what is out there. There are many which need to be applied for - if you don't find them, they won't find you.
