Hernest,

She is a very pretty girl with a lovely figure. She has good eye contact with the camera (viewer). Her skin tone and the lighting is very good. She has very nice make-up. Her catch lights are good.

Be careful of your focus. Her eyes do not look in critical focus. I would lighten the dark circles under her eyes.

It appears that she is trying to have a sensual expression. With her head tilted back it doesn't work. It is hard to find a girl sensual when you are looking up her nose.

The pose of her left arm looks a bit awkward. Her elbow is stuck out in the middle of the air and her head has cropped her hand at the wrist. Cropping at a joint can make your subject look like an amputee.

It is generally best not to shoot bare armpits or crotches. Either can look rather tacky.

Although she has a beautifully slim body, you do not want to pose her 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. It usually looks best to angle your subject somewhere around 45 degrees.

I would give her more foot and headroom. She is a little close to the top and bottom of the frame.

Crop a tad off the right side. You want to compositionally balance the left and right sides of the photograph. The compositional "rule" for this suggests that you position the tip of the subject's nose in the vertical center of the photograph.

Even though it is somewhat out of focus your background is very busy. The clutter draws the viewer's attention away from your subject. The vertical lines in the background are not vertical. Vertical and horizontal lines should be vertical and horizontal or they will draw attention to themselves.

Your advertising (http://www.photo.net/photos/isa) is not part of the photograph. Your name could be properly placed on a mat surrounding the photograph. Any advertising would be better placed on the back of the photograph.

Nice shot,

Mark
