Gorgeous in every way!  Warm regards.

Sesham,

Siya is a pretty girl. You have focused well on her eyes. Her make-up looks good. The color saturation and contrast are good. The lighting adds some interesting shadows and helps to create a nice illusion of depth within your photograph. Her catchlights are very good. She has good eye contact with the camera (viewer) and a very nice expression. The background is nicely neutral and she is well separated from it.

You have her pushing in on her hips with her hands. This creates bulges at her hips. You do not want to make her look overweight.

Her shoulders are hunched up looking and you have her pushing her elbows forward. This is not only an awkward looking pose, but it is making her upper arms and shoulders look overly large and muscular -- rather masculine looking. It almost looks like a bodybuilder's pose -- not very feminine looking.

The shadows at her armpits makes her look like she hasn't shaved. This does not make her look feminine, either.

Do not pose your subject straight on to the camera. This is not a very feminine pose. Showing your subject’s widest areas (shoulder to shoulder or hip to hip) makes those areas appear wide. Your subject will appear thinner and more feminine, graceful and elegant if turned at an angle to the camera. The lines you see from an angle have more apparent motion, interest and grace. You usually do not want to have your subject turned 90 degrees to the camera. This can make the head look unsupported. As a rule it looks best to angle your subject somewhere around 45 degrees.

Instead of having both feet pointing towards the camera, you might try having one in back of the other, pointing off to the side somewhat, with her weight on the back foot. This is a more standard full length pose for a girl.

Avoid having the back (or palm) of the hand towards the camera. Just like posing the body at an angle to the camera, the edge (side) of the hand towards the camera is thinning, feminine and graceful. The little finger towards the camera with the fingers cascaded rather than side by side is preferred. If you are going to show her fingernails, make sure she has a good manicure. Her fingernails are not uniform in length.

The composition is quite good, but for a full length shot you have cropped quite closely to her feet. She could use a little more room at the bottom and even her head could stand a smidgen more space.

Be careful of your background lighting. The transition from light to dark on the left (her right) side is not very smooth.

Her skin tone has a slight yellow tint to it. 

I have tried to take some of the yellow out of her skin tone.

Nice shot,

Mark
