Nice lighting but I don't think it suits the oblong format. Why not try cropping it square around the girl to get rid of the background which I think is a bit distracting.

Square cropping is a good suggestion, though this shape works for me. The headroom creates a model/environment relationship that tight cropping would lose. In this case, though, there's not much in the environment to relate to. The effect is to make the model seem less significant, which might actually contradict her strong expression...an argument in favor of tighter cropping. Either way, this and all your photos are superbly done.

Wonderful image. I really like the warm colors and the outstanding light.

This is another commendable exercise in studio photography. I admire its slickness but it lacks heart and originality. So much technique at the service of trivia. You need to get out more!
