Hahaha, I saw the thumb nail of this photo and thought to myself Knockin on heavens door...and what do you know, I was right. Good title. Also I like the lighting and the burning of the edge at the bottom.

This Image is not suited for colour, try B+W, but I prefer sepia

Seeing as this is a portrait i think the focus should be directed at the face and so the shoulders are in the way. If you like the shoulders in the shot, try a higher angle so that the shoulder doesn't take up so much room in the photo. Here is a crop of your shot and i added contrast as it needed some.

 

What do you think?

I changed the colour balance as i prefer a more warm tone to this photo.

I checked out your site and i think that you should still crop in tighter, but it looks good. I really like this shot. I checked out your site and i noticed your "headshots" are all very similar, and maybe that's what the models want but i would try to get more variety in your portfolio just so clients can see that you are capable of doing a variety of "headshots". You seem to have a lot of the "cut the head off at the top and leave a lot of the neck in your photo's" kind of shots. Try going outside of that for a bit see if you like it. Anyways that is just a suggestion of mine. Good luck!

I like the pose but i think there is too much "negative" space in the bottom of the photo. I think a crop like this puts more emphasis on her, especially her eyes. What do you think?
