You are right, it looks like a watercolor painting instead of a photo.

HI! from the Critique club.

In this picture I like the pose and composition in general, but there may be a little too much negative space on the right.

This could use a bit of sharpening I think. Especially on the eyes, left eye in particular.

Lighting is good, but not spectacular. One thing that i noticed in this challenge is that the top 10 all had their subjects looking directly at the camera, and thus the viewer. This really serves to create a connection between the viewer and the subject I think. The top 9 all had much closer crops than this, and great lighting and sharpness on the eyes.

I agree with the others that commented that there is a bit much noise, and the background, while being seemingly neutral, actually may distract with it's blandness. You may think about color coordinating with your subjects in the future.
