Some good and some not so here IMO. The good... well exposed, focus is near eye as it should be, and I like the fall off from the depth of field.

The not so good... I am not a fan of having the camera above subject for portraiture. Also the lighting is too harsh as you have hard shadows created by the nose and dress. Diffusing the light and using a reflector on camera right would have helped with the nose shadow. Shooting from a lower angle would have eliminated the dress shadow.

Is she dancing in celebration. The photo is very nice, but the link is weak, in my mind.
