Fabrizio,

She is a very beautiful girl with a nice expression. There is a hint of sensuality in her smile. She has good eye contact with the camera (viewer). You have focused well on her eyes. Her skin tone is excellent. The pretty soft lighting works very well with her complexion and lovely blonde hair. The backlighting highlights her hair well and helps to separate it from the background. The background is nicely out of focus. Her make-up look very nice. The eyeliner under her eyes frames them well and helps to make her eyes stand out.

The background doesn't interfere with the subject except for the extra light area in the lower left. That circle is somewhat isolated by the darkness around it and draws my attention away from your subject. All you would need to do is tone it down a tad.

I really like her pose. It shows off her very nice figure. The shadows add interest and do help to create an illusion of depth within your photograph. It would be better if you had her pull her top down at her waist to remove the wrinkles in front of her stomach. Part of the problem is that she could use a little better posture. Her shoulders look a tad slumped forward. She should stand up straight with her shoulders back and her chest out. Good posture might even remove the wrinkles in her top at her stomach.

You have multiple tiny, pointy, little catchlights in the middle of her eyes. I don't know what you are using to reflect in her eyes, but it looks a little strange. One catch light per eye is preferred. The ideal location for the catch lights would be at about the 10 or 2 o'clock position on her irises.

You have cropped into her hair. This calls for a much tighter crop on the bottom to give good top and bottom compositional balance. It would be better to just give her some headroom rather than crop into her hair. All you need to do is to tilt your camera up a bit. This would also solve the problem you have with your bottom crop. You have cropped her arm at her elbow. You don't want to crop at a joint. Cropping at a joint can make you subject appear to be an amputee. It is a better idea to crop between joints.

Your left and right compositional balance is a little left heavy. You could add some to the left (in front of her) or crop some off the right (her back) side. 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. By positioning the tip of her nose in the vertical center of the photograph you not only have her facing into the picture, but you also have good left and right compositional balance. The tip of her nose doesn't have to be exactly centered, but this gives you a good starting point from which to subtly adjust your composition to make it visually balanced. This little rule almost always works well.

You do not want anything in your picture that will draw the viewer's attention away from your subject. Your name and the date could be properly placed on a mat surrounding your photograph. Photo.net is nice enough to place your name as the photographer right below your photograph.

Nice shot,

Mark

a differenza di altri, sarò sintetico: mi attira lo sguardo della ragazza che risalta nel modo dovuto

Ciao Fabrizio. Anche io darò molto sintetico. 

Questo ritratto è molto bello. La bellezza di questo scatto sta appunto nella sua semplicità. Lo sguardo cattura tutta l'attenzione di chi guarda,quasi a rapirlo. Mi piace come hai trattato la pelle e soprattutto b&n di molto effetto.... Fabrizio penso che un 6 questo scatto se lo merita tutto.

ciao Gianluca
