A bit overexposed. The texture is completely lost on the girl's face.

Her skin looks way too bright and that black top looses all detail so you can't tell where her arm is. It also doesn't look focused on the face to me.

I like the idea, but it could have been a bit more intimate by: 1) coming closer the young lady's face; or 2) lowering the exposure of both face/shirt and the back ground (to maintain the grey balance).

Her skin seems too white, her sweatshirt too black, but maybe that's how you wanted it. Good pose, but I would like to see her eyes.

Get the focus out of the center. Here is a trick, divide the composition equally into a tick-tack-toe board, where the lines meet, but your points of focus. This should be your rule, rules are made to be broken, but you have to know when and why. Technically a good peice.

Good moment caught on camera..

her face is a little burned out on my monitor, and the sweater lacks detail. Maybe a bit of tweaking in curves would have brought out a little more detail? Nice composition
