I'd love to get honest constructive criticism on this shot. Thanks for your time!!!

The shadows are a bit too harsh. The shadows of her teeth are the most distracting to me. I would prefer the model wears a little more contrasting lipsticks. Her lips seem to blend into her skin tone.

Nice focus, good "motion", great eye contact with the subject.

I would agree the shadows are a little distracting and some more dramatic makeup nothing too much as I like the natural look just enough to enhance her lips and eyes everything else is wonderful

Get some white foam core from an art supply store. It comes in 20x30in, 32x40in, 40x60in, and 4x8ft. You can also order black foamcore in the same dimensions to use as large flags. Hold them in position with zipdisc holder boom arms and light stands.

A large white reflector camera right would fill in the shadows on the right side just enough to make this a much better photograph. Bringing up the shadows also improves the sensor's ability to capture detail within the shadows. The fill card would also give her hair some pop on the right side, which would add dimension.

Another way to achieve dimension would be to use a pair of strip style softboxes, one on each side. But dial them way, way, back, until they are just barely perceptible. The difference can be amazing.
