awesome shot!  the lighting and focusing are brilliant!!!

beautiful composition and croping  a little working on eyes and lips would change is dramatically  just try it

Thanks Johnny, focus is easy if you use f/11. I was lucky the studio has powerful strobes.

To Bony, yes I agree, the eyes is too much at the edge and lips could  be better too. I wish I gave better direction and took more pictures of that pose. if I were to work with her again I will use your suggestions. Thank you.

I find this kind of portraits fantastic and tasteful, the model is pretty and the work with te camera is very professional.
Congrats.

There is something with the eyes though, maybe contact lenses!

Lovely image, model and composition.  Very nice job on her hair.  Additional treatment to the lips, etc., is only a matter of your intentions for the image.  David

Thanks again for the comments, yes I think she wore colored contacts, hence the BW conversion.
