Hi Deb, 

Congrats, it looks good, so it is good.

But, you stiil can improve this area:

Those 2 Quads that look like Triangles are generally frowned upon and the Quad near the bottom, that is like an arrowhead, actually causes problems. This is not obvious in your case, but if you allow me to exagerate the situation a bit, you get this:

This is usually not what you want (unless you’re making an earshell or so). 

This happens, because the Subdivision algorithm, subdivides a Quad, using the average Position of the 4 Vertices as the Center of the Quad and when that Center lies outside the surface of said Quad, you can get undesirable results.
