Oana,

She is a very pretty girl. I think the composition and the pose work very well. You have positioned the side (edge) of her hand towards the camera. This makes her hand appear slim, feminine, graceful and elegant. The same as true for her body that is turned at an angle to the camera (even though a high-waisted dress -- empire style -- is not very form fitting and usually makes a girl's waist look rather large). You have chosen a very good location for this shot. Oana is nicely separated from the background.

I think you could have focused better on her eyes. They should be in critical focus.

I love the window light falling on Oana, but it is very contrasty and your highlights are overexposed. Clipping can often occur in image highlights as a result of an incorrect exposure. A similar effect of blown-out highlights also exists in analog photography. You will either have to lessen your exposure (expose for the highlights) or bounce some light (or add a fill flash) to lower the contrast and adjust the exposure.

Try to get a catch light in both eyes to give them more life.

The vertical lines on the window are not quite vertical. Try to keep obvious vertical and horizontal lines vertical and horizontal.

Nice shot,

Mark

Nice Neo-Victorian look on this, but the contrast seems far too harsh.

Lovely pose, has an old fashioned feel. Beautiful girl. Ideally, I would love a bit less contrast, a bit more detail, but I understand that's hard to do next to the window.

Beautiful retro style photo, well done.

Reminds me of Mata Hari, the Dutch female spy.
