My take is that it's been markedly over-sharpened, giving it a brittle
look. And the perspective does that very attractive model no favors at
all.

Hi, Philippe.

On my display, the image appears as if it has been sharpened, 
particularly at magnifications of more than 100%. Is it the case? It 
looks sharp but lacks liveliness of the skin texture, or a feeling that 
the model is embarrassingly close to you. ;-) If I were the client, I 
would ask some modifications. Some photographers intentionally add 
"noise" to make digital images look more true to life. Do you do similar

tricks?

Cheers,

MIKIRO
