Katerina,

I like this image very much. The colors work well together. She is very pretty and has an interesting expression. It has a wonderful feel to it -- rather ghostly. I don't really understand why you have placed the people behind her. I don't know what you are trying to convey to the viewer. One reason to include a background in a portrait is to establish a relationship between the subject and the background. The idea is to take the likeness of the subject to a more meaningful pictorial expression of the subject. It adds completeness to the picture -- it tells a story. Everything in the picture should coordinate with everything else. Everything that is in the portrait is there for a reason and should help tell the story of the subject. You should ask yourself if the background goes well with the subject, her outfit and any props.  Is she relating and reacting to the background or setting in a meaningful and natural manner? Does she seem relaxed and comfortable in this location? In other words, does this background make sense?

She has a lot of headroom and it is just blank sky. You need to do some cropping or reposition her into a better location.

I am afraid the positioning of your subject just doesn't work very well. Your subject should have more room in front of her than behind. This allows her to be facing into the picture, not out of it. 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.

Her eyes are under a hat and veil, so I can understand why they are in shade, but I think this would have been more effective if her eyes were a little lighter so you could better see them.

Remember the old saying -- If you have to explain a joke, it isn't funny.

Nice shot,

Mark

Beautiful work Katerina. Mysterious and dreamy.

All my best,   Bill
