I would crop about two inches from the bottom to make the image NICER.
The eyes make the picture, not the head lights?

I also would crop off most of the bottom, leaving just a bit of cleavage, and I'd lighten the picture up a bit with more brightness and color.

aaa yes, starting with https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-593304-1.html
The photo crop is very well done. In Topaz Clarity the blue can be upped in saturation and then the Breasts no effect mask to prevent the blue cast when the blue of the eyes is intensified [saturation]. Or crop just below the chin... The photo is well done; her-eyes create an intense look.
You did a good viewer eye grabbing photo ... congratulations 2nefoto

I concede! I'm extremely poorly developed in Photo Shop. I strive to get done in the camera.

The eyes definitely grab the viewers attention. It's a striking image, but I like the original crop.
I'm not a fan of the skin tone. That's not to say that it's wrong, but when an image is presented to a viewer, especially digitally, we tend to interpret color as if we had ample daylight. The truth is, that in our day-to-day existence we seldom have that light. Often our camera captures color close to how our eyes are seeing it, but our mind compensates and corrects. When we review the images on our screen, we want to see it corrected. So if you take photo of someone outside near dusk or on a cloudy day, your subject may in reality have bluish skin. My personal preference is to see warm skin tones on caucasian models.
You could warm up the entire image and then erase the modification from the irises to keep that great color there. The whites of the eyes are a color temperature "touch stone" for me. That is, if I don't have a good WB reference in the photo anywhere else.
The other thing I notice is the aspect ration of this image and the original. It appears to be well beyond 2 by 3 and most portraits are 4x5. This image actually looks around 1x2. The length reveals extra cleavage, but not in a flattering way in my opinion since we don't see enough skin from side to side to gauge the roundness of the the breasts.
I would take the original and get rid of most of the cleavage and concentrate on getting a good head shot in a 4x5 aspect ratio. I think you have a good model here, if you want a good cleavage and eyes shot, just take a new one, or several hundred new ones.

Agree, if my shot would crop bottom off to about where her bra runs out of frame, then crop out arm of right side. Now her wonderful , captive eyes (and hair) draws one into the photo. Lightening a little will help further.

LOL... just suggested this similar crop under your other photo before I saw you had posted this. Of course, now the photo is in the wrong category. <giggle>

The crop is much better that the original.
I would crop to just below the tips of her hair, and try one just below her chin. and heal out the wart or blemish on the side her nose. Not that it detracts from her beauty but the closer you crop the more it stands out.

Feel complimented, 2nefoto, we look and think "if that were my photo" I would do XYZ... So many photos we look at and just move on with only "nice" being the standard UHH comment ... this photo we look and are compelled to analyze.

I like the new version.
I'm fine with skin tone.
Nitpick: Might have lopped off the growth on her nose, personal preference, not saying it was wrong to leave it.
