Just a quickie - is this worth adding to my portfolio?

It has a different feel to it that your other work. Here eyebrows are distracting to me but I don't believe this was an attempt at a beauty shot so I am not calling it out as bad, just distracting to me.

I wouldn't add it to you port because I don't feel it is at the same level as your other work.

It's not on par with the rest of your work... but there is something about it. I've taken a few hard looks at it. The model has a very angular face... almost alien in this capture in a way... I'm on the fence.

I would give a qualified "yes". 

The composition and expression is really interesting, but I find the skin treatment off-putting. 

Having said that, I notice that you have two similar skin treatments in your portfolio, so I guess it may be part of your style, albeit a part that has no great appeal for me.

I find it unsettling in a good way, but there's something distracting to me down around the shirt collar, either the way your focus fell off or possibly some post-blurring? The rest of it I'm really into-the way the shadows are below her eyebrows makes me keep looking at it.

Yes but do a closer crop smile

It's better then the other photo you have of her in your portfolio already.

I quite like it, but as others already suggested I feel it could benefit from a tighter crop

...heh, it actually sort of startled me when I first clicked on this thread. There's something almost alien about it, that being said I think that it elicits enough of an emotional response to be interesting, and a little unsettling in a good way.
