Dominik,

This is a very nice portrait. Agnieszka is a beautiful girl with a lovely smile and very nice teeth. You have focused well on her eyes. She has very good catch lights. Her make-up is very good. The eyeliner under her eyes works nicely to frame her eyes and help them stand out. The lighting is excellent. The shadows make your photograph interesting and create a nice illusion of depth. The background is nicely neutral and she is quite well separated from it.

A hair or backlight would help to separate her even better from the background.

You have her body turned at a slight angle to the camera which is good. You could have her turn even a little more.

The position of the catch lights on her irises is great, but make sure you don't have more than one catch light per eye.

The positioning of Agnieszka within the frame couldn't be any better. Seeing as how you have a vertical subject, I would consider using a vertical format.

Her skin tone is very nice, but there is a little yellow cast to the right (her right) of her mouth and on her neck and chest. A slight warming should take care of this. 

Be careful when retouching her chin and her right cheek. There are a couple of rough areas there.

Watch your depth of field. Some of her hair and her left shoulder is not in focus.  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.

I could be wrong about this, but I thought I should at least mention it.  Be careful of foreshortening. You have to be very careful of shooting a close-up of the face with a lens shorter than about 110 mm (film or FX digital) or 170 mm (DX digital). Shorter lenses can make the nose appear larger than normal.

I think I would remove some of the loose hairs falling across the right side of her face -- eye and cheek.

Nice shot,

Mark

Thanks for sharing your opinion. It would be great lesson for me. 

I want to you to know that we had small quantity of time, and the circumstances was provisional. I have those plans to rent a studio, and spend there some time, learn more about light, and use this experience in the future.

THanks again for interesting  comment
