Background messy, no eyes,...

Should have kept a greate distance between model and background to throw background out of focus. Also hard shadows.

get her to take three steps away from the backdrop and get a backlight in there, and this is great. a little space and shallow depth would separate her a bit, and i think that would be a plus, as well as losing some of the shadows. nice choice of colour behind her red hair. maybe a little unsharp mask too, but that's just my preference. well done.

I would really like to see her eyes...with her being so fair skinned a darker background would have looked nice

Has a good softness to it. bringing the subject out and away form the background would give a softer feel and get rid of the shadow. Being able to see her eyes would make this a bit better shot IMO. Also squaring up the shoulders

The overhead lighting has left unsightly shadows under her nose and chin. Some fill light could have been used to lessen them. In addition, I find your background to be too plain

Nice colors. Just soft enough. On a personal note: would like to see more of her face and less of the left side. And for a posed shot attention to the necklas is imprtant. BOL

Interesting picture, but I think blue background makes her skin kind of blue. 6

The curtain is somewhat distracting... but only a minor problem.

Posing and expression are good, but the shadows are way too harsh.
I would straighten the necklace so that it follows the neck line of the shirt.

dark shadow under her chin and on her neck may have been avoided with a reflector (homemade or store bought). there are also other shadows that may have been softened in this way, or with a fill light.
a soft expression is also sometimes more effective with a tighter crop. :)

Well, it's not grabbing me. Hmmm... The background is kind of distracting with the fold so near her face. Her eyes are kind of half closed and she's looking in an unusual direction. There's a bit of a distraction in the black garmet by her neck with a bit of skin showing through. All that said, I think with a bit of effort you'd have something really cool here. Have her look up, perhaps.

i think this would be much better without the blue background...it takes away from the young lady

Really conveys a mood. Good luck!

Tighter crop on top will certainly improve this shot. Nice colors though.

I like this shot. Maybe a little more trimmed off the left and a little more light on her beautiful hair. I hope this does well it's really very nice.

Great pose, nicely lit hair and eyes. Perhaps a reflector (even some white card) placed where the model is looking, would have lifted the shadow on the neck a little.

I don't care for the pose or the lighting. The dark shadows under the chin against the pale skin is too contrasty. I would have cropped a little more off the left side.
