Andrey,

She is a beautiful girl. You have focused well on her eyes. Her make-up looks especially well done.

The background is nicely neutral and she is somewhat separated from it. A hair or backlight would help to separate her hair from the background. You could just light the background behind her head as you did behind her legs.

I'm not sure I would use a low camera angle on her. I feel like I am looking up her nose.

Except for the overly hot kicker on her right side (way too hot), her lighting is rather flat. She has some rather nice highlights on her face and shoulders, but the shadows on her body just look a bit strange to me. Maybe the kicker is just overpowering any more subtle lighting there may be? Her right hand really draws my attention.

Catchlights would help give life to her eyes.

Do not pose your subject straight on to the camera. This is not a very feminine pose. Showing your subject’s widest areas (shoulder to shoulder or hip to hip) makes those areas appear wide. Your subject will appear thinner and more feminine, graceful and elegant if turned at an angle to the camera. The lines you see from an angle have more apparent motion, interest and grace. You usually do not want to have your subject turned 90 degrees to the camera. This can make the head look unsupported. As a rule it looks best to angle your subject somewhere around 45 degrees.

Be careful of split profiles. You do not want the tip of her nose to come close to touching the far cheek line. You want to make sure the far eye is either completely showing or not showing at all. You do not want to have the bridge of her nose cut into her far eye.

Notice that she is looking a tad off the the left of where her head is pointing. If not making eye contact with the camera (viewer), the eyes should follow the line of the nose. It is natural to look where your head is pointing. If looking off to the side you should show what she is looking at or provide a reason that she is not looking where her head is pointing. 

Make sure the clasp of her necklace is behind her neck.

I would lighten the image a bit and crop some off the left (her right) side. This would help make her appear to be looking into the picture rather than out of it. She could use even a tad more room in front of her than I have given her.

Nice shot,

Mark

Great portrait and excellent use of lighting. I am not so sure about the position of her left hand. It seems a bit strange. Otherwise, a superb portrait. Congrats.

Everything would have been perfect if not that horrible fingernail paint, which disturbs so much. Otherwise, a beautiful model, nicely dressed and illuminated.
