Sorry ... but very unflattering angle for a girl ... 

Lovely image full of Spring in the background.  She has such a beautiful face and figure that the background is complimentary. As always - very nice work my friend.  I hope your Florence is in full bloom!!! take care, Gail

Fabrizio,

She is a very pretty girl. You have focused well on her eyes. She has good eye contact with the camera (viewer) and a beautiful smile. Her skin tone is good. The background is nicely out of focus and she is quite well separated from it. Her make-up and manicure look very good. 

Even though the background is out of focus, it is still quite busy. Her head kind of gets lost in it. A plainer background would work better.

Her body is posed at a nice angle to the camera. Don't have her legs together. Stretch one out a bit so that they are at different heights. The lines will be more pleasing. I would suggest lowering her right leg a bit so that it doesn't look like we are looking up her skirt quite as much.

Try not to show the bottom of her shoe.

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.

It appears you have used your camera's flash as your main light. This will give you those tiny pointy looking little catch lights in the middle of her eyes. The ideal position for catch lights is close to the 10 or 2 o'clock position on her irises. To achieve this your main light should be above, in front and to the side of your subject. The camera’s flash will also give you very flat lighting. Judicious use of shadows can make your photograph much more interesting and help to create a nice illusion of depth within your photograph.

Avoid having the back (or palm) of the hand towards 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 cascading rather than side by side is preferred.

You do not want the background tilted. At the very least the bench should have horizontal slats and she should not be tilted back. It looks like she could slide right off the bench.

You do not want anything in your picture that will draw the viewer's attention away from your subject. It is quite appropriate to place your name and the date the photograph was made, if you so wish, on a mat surrounding your photograph. Photo.net even places your name as the photographer right below your photograph.

Nice shot,

Mark
