I admire this a great deal.  Nice lighting, use of fabric and color tone, well directed model.  High scores.

Aleksandar,

She is a beautiful girl. She has good eye contact with the camera (viewer) and a pleasant expression. The lighting is quite good. She has very good catch lights. The background is nicely out of focus and she is well separated from it. 

Her make-up is nice, but a little eyeliner under her eyes would help to frame them and make her eyes stand out even more. She could have applied her mascara a little better on her lower eyelashes (left eye).

Her skin tone is very good, but it is a little yellow around the corner of her mouth.

That is a lovely scarf(?), but for a portrait you want to avoid bright colors and bold patterns in clothing. In a portrait the subject’s face is what is most important and nothing should draw the viewer’s attention away from the face.

Be careful of your depth of field. Her hair and neck are out of focus. Even her right eye is not very sharp. I don't see a good reason to have any of her out of focus. An out of focus background is very nice and focuses attention on your subject. Parts of your subject out of focus will draw attention away from what is in focus. It is difficult to go wrong with having the entire subject in focus.

You have her head scrunched in the upper right corner. Give her more room. Showing so much of her on the bottom, you really don't need to crop into her head at the top at all. You want to compositionally balance your image within your frame. It is very top heavy right now.

In the lower right corner there is a white strip next to her black scarf (?). That should be removed so that it doesn't draw attention to itself.

Nice shot,

Mark
