1. Feet are missing. It bothers me. I know she's sitting, and if the feet were there, we'd be seeing only the soles of the shoes, still I miss them. You may try to try knee-up portrait - that would leave enough of the left wheel to still place her in the wheel chair. It would also go better with the tight framing of the top of the head.
2. Background is busy, sure, but the most tragic thing is that plastic bottle just behind her left shoulder. 3. Shadow left by her head on the white cloth looks bluish. It's probably because of the sunny day, nevertheless our eyes would still see it darker but not bluish. I quickly transformed the picture into grayscale and imho works better. Maybe it's even worth trying some sephia toning. Other than that I find it interesting at the least.
