This looks like a great shot to remember being in a place. Or in other words a tourist shot. However, as a portrait (especially a studio one) it has a couple of issues. The first one is the fact that many parts of it are very blown out. This due to the harsh lighting at the time of day that you shot it. In a studio this wouldn't be an issue as you would have control of the lighting. It is also very busy for a portrait. The background is supposed to lead you back to the person. This background is (almost) more interesting than the true subject of the shot. Lastly, the reflections in her glasses are distracting and do not add to the shot.

This didn't get the best score from me, because I thought the background was distracting. The other minor suggestion I had was just a touch less light on the sleeve and a little more light on the face. Beyond those things, I thought this was excellent. This is one of the entries that made the model seem fun loving and happy. Pose is perfect. Good luck. -7

The train in the background is a bit distracting, but it also make the title. Doesn't seem as much of a studio setup as it does a candid. But it still a nice shot. I like the reflections in the sunglasses.

I like this but the lighting is pretty bright, it appears blown out in a few spots, holding the camera an inch or two lower would have eliminated those whistles growing out of the top of her head, or the clone tool since it's an advanced rules challenge

Nice smile, pretty woman ... unfortunately, the big white thing in the background is kind of distracting.

This doesn't look like a formal portrait to me, but a candid snapshot. The reflection in her glases is very distracting.

It's hard to shoot one like this without catching yourself (or something undesirable) in the reflections in the sunglasses. A nice, relaxed "candid" portrait.

NIce model - good lighting. Background way too busy. Your reflection in the glasses does not help. What is she growing out of her head? Does not appear bery studio-like.

good candid apart from a whistle coming out of her head

Great natural light on the subject. The blown out area behind her head is a bit distracting though.
