Artur,

Raquel is a pretty girl. The background is nicely out of focus and she is well separated from it. The color saturation is good. I like the rim light on her hair and left arm from the window.

Her eyes are not in focus. Use a tripod whenever possible so that your subject's eyes are in critical focus. If not making eye contact with the camera (viewer), the eyes should follow the line of the nose. It is natural to look where your head is pointing. If looking off to the side you should show what she is looking at or provide a reason that she is not looking where her head is pointing. 

Her expression doesn't look very pleasant. She seems puzzled about something. It appears she may not really know what is going on.

She needs catch lights to give life to her eyes.

The background is out of focus, but it is very cluttered. The red pillows draw attention away from Raquel.

The composition is quite good, but Raquel wouldn't have to have her head over to the right so far if she was sitting up straighter. I wouldn't have her right arm sticking out so straight and cropped off. It looks awkward. There is also a wrinkle at her elbow that shouldn't be there.

Please notice her left hand. Avoid having the back of the hand towards the camera. The edge (side) of the hand towards the camera is thinning, feminine and graceful.

Her make-up looks quite good. I don't mind the dark eyeliner and eyeshadow. It goes with her lingerie, but her bright red lipstick does look a bit gaudy.

The skin tone of her back and thigh are very good, but they are lighter than her face. They draw attention away from Raquel's face. Her face should be the lightest part of her body so that the viewer's eyes will go to her face. Her face has a slight red tint to it.

She has shadows across her eyes and some loose hairs across her left cheek. The whites of her eyes should be a nice clean white and the loose hairs should be removed.

I am not sure this shows Raquel at her best.

Your (name?) in red at the bottom is not part of the photograph. I would be proper to place your name on a mat surrounding your photograph. Any advertising would be better placed on the back of the photograph.

Nice shot,

Mark
