Composition: 5
Technical: 4, I like the bright lighting, but maybe not quite as bright as to lose practically all detail. Maybe one more light on the background could white out the shadow from your hair over your right shoulder too

Overall Calculated Average Score: 6, I think portraits that show bare shoulders have an extra personal feel. Very nice
