^^ agreed. I think the skin tone should be a little pinker :) But other than that nice job.

1. Keep within the lines, you went waaay out of the around her hair line.
2. Fix the teeth and the under-layer shirt. They should be white (the teeth at least) and the shirt should be different from her skin colour.
3. Her eyes and her jeans could be better. Maybe some actual colour. I understand the picture is kinda small but that is why you use big ones =].
4. The skin tone is a little boring as someone else mentioned.

Just keep trying and you will get better

the problem is that it's hard to actually make out those lines dealing with such a small picture. if you zoom close enough to the trouble spot you'll see there are extra strands that're a mess to deal with.

2/3/4 like i said, i don't know these colours. it's black/white, you just can't tell and have to assume, the rest i'm totally aware of (my own last observations in my first post).

feel free to post your suggestions in picture form.

^Yes, you have to assume, but you know what real people look like, go off of that.

If you lose the lips (as so happens often when colourizing bw photos), then darken them using Curves (ctrl+m). Then colourize. It'll help. =]
