Thanks for taking the time.

Beautiful mold you have here and so well lit, the details are sharp and the skin tone is so original, her eyes having a great contact with the viewers.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

Artur,

She is a very pretty girl. Her make-up looks very good and she has a pleasant expression. She has good eye contract with the camera (viewer).

You have focused quite well on her, but her eyes don't look as sharp as they should. Make sure the eyes are in critical focus. Use a tripod whenever possible.

If you move her farther from the background she wouldn't cast a shadow along her left side. It would also allow the background to go out of focus and make her stand out from the background even more. The red spray paint, or whatever is in the upper right on the background, is somewhat distracting.

She appears to have a very nice shape, but that dress is not very complementary to her waistline. Besides choosing figure flattering clothing, you want to avoid bright colors, stripes and bold patterns in clothing. In a portrait the subject’s face is what is most important and nothing should draw the viewer’s attention away from the face.

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. Generally, it looks best to angle your subject somewhere around 45 degrees.

There is a string (or something) hanging down from her dress, between her legs, that should be removed.

You do not want her hands in fists. That is not a feminine pose for the hands. I can't really tell if she is hunching her shoulders, but her arms are twisted so that the insides of her arms are facing towards the camera -- very strange.

One catchlight per eye is preferred.

The lighting is quite flat. Judicious use of shadows can add interest and help to create a nice illusion of depth within your photograph.

I have tried to give your photograph better compositional balance and remove some of the excessive yellow in her skin tone.

The red letters in the lower right corner are not part of the photograph. Your name could be properly placed on a mat surrounding the photograph. Any advertising would be better placed on the back of the photograph.

Nice shot,

Mark
