Pretty girl. Good focus. Horizontal crop works OK. Balance of lights and darks good. Color good. Great skin. I don't know but the bright background spot behind her head is somewhat distracting. It's a little bit too intense. I think if it could be brought down by about half that the focus would stay longer on the girl's face. Yes, I think that this picture could be inproved considerably if that bright spot were darkened.

Nice light, I'd love to learn to get this sort of portrait one day.

Nice composition on this. The shirt gives a great color pop, skin tone is excellent and the contrast with her skin and hair are outstanding. The whites of her eyes and nails are well done as well. Oh, and she has a great smile.

I like this one a lot, but the hands look weird. At first sight it seemed like there were too many fingers. Maybe a different position would distract less from the face.
