As you requested, here is your in depth critique from The Critique Club.
The first thing I noticed before reading your comments was the pink reflections on her pants. It is most clearly down the back of the left leg, the zipper area and her left knee. I figured there must have been some red lighting coming from somewhere, but upon reading your comments, realize that this is probably reflection from the (once) pink background. The pinkness stands out (at least to me) a lot and seems quite odd given the photo as a whole.
That being said, I like the yellow background, it's bright and attention getting and adds a bit of wow factor. There is a lot of visual appeal in this photo.
Focus and clarity are great. I like the texture it brings out in the pants.
I like the angle and the cropping as well. I think that it accentuates the 'shape' and makes it a very nice shot for the challenge as well.
Lighting is very nice, the only little shadows I notice are under the bottom of the jacket, and (while the one shadow also has the pink tint) I don't find them distracting at all.
Very nice shot, I really have no complaints or suggestions, other than the pink reflections on the pants where there is no apparent reason for the pants to be refecting pink. Not really sure how to fix the situation. Maybe if you did a saturation adjustment and desaturated all reds? Not sure if that would affect the rest of the photo, but worth a shot anyway.
