I'm not a portrait photographer by any means, but this needs more light imo. Her face and shoulder are lit, but there is no detail in her hair or dress, and her right arm looks much darker than her left. If working with one light, a homemade reflector (white foamcore or cardboard with aluminum foil) could be used to illuminate the unlit side.

Pretty girl, nice studio setup, but the light is off quite a bit. In full body shots you need to make sure that the light is even across the entire body not just the face.

Also shooting a black dress is difficult, so you will need to make sure you had more lights

All the elements are here for a great image but the lighting is flat and just doesn't give the level necessary of make this a great image.

To dark and very high-school-prom for the pose. Nice facial expression though. 5

Nice seductive pose. My main suggestion would be to get a bit more lighting from her front/right to bring out some more texture.

This is so cute, nice choice on the selective desaturation.

subjects with good potential but the highly saturated balloons and string are too strong against this stark black and white.
