This is my first posting, and looking for any input and feedback as to how I could have made this shot better.

I used strobe lighting, firing straight forward towards the subject. A second strobe was used at about a 75 degree angle to illuminate any background. Other than that, a straightforward shot.

Ideas for improvement?

I would say that the eyes need to be spot on focus. Looks like your camera picked up your shoulder to focus on.

Good shot. a little soft around the eyes.

I'll start by saying I'm not very good at taking portraits, at this time I just don't have the correct lighting equipment. My comments though are....the pose I think is very nice. The background is too bright...which causes too much distraction from your subject. Some selective burn could alleviate this, thus preventing drawing your eyes away from the focal point and actually help to draw the eyes in. Looking at her cheek, nose and left shoulder area it is somewhat shiny, I think you would want it to softly glow not shine so a softer light on your subject I think would have been nicer(more seductive).
Overall I think it's very nice, great subject, but I think the lighting would have made it even better.
