Aleksandar,

She is a beautiful girl. You have focused well on her eyes. Her make-up is very good. The eyeliner under her eyes frames them well and really makes them stand out. The catch light in her left eye is good. She skin tone is very good. The background is nicely out of focus and she is well separated from it. She has good eye contact with the camera (viewer).

Her expression is a bit strange. She would look better if her mouth was closed all the way or if she had a bit of a smile.

Make sure she has good posture. Her right shoulder looks like she has it forward a little. 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.

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. If she was turned a bit more towards the camera you might be able to get a catch light in her left eye.

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. This little rule almost always works well. At least it gives you a very good starting point to position your subject.

Nice shot,

Mark

Great shot.  Mark makes some valid technical points but overall a good pic.  One thing I would add is the possible use of a reflector to get some more light under the hat. Nice bokeh also.
