This is a portrait I took of a friend of mine. I like the way it came out although I do see some room for improvement. Just looking for ideas that I haven't thought of.

I am not a portrait photographer, but to me her head it turned too far to the right or her eyes are turned too far to the left. This makes her look awkward. The lighting looks good to me and the background is pleasant.

Agreed. the line of the nose should not touch the line of the cheek. Maybe 5% more toward camera is one of the improvements that I noticed.

agreed btw I think you got good exposure and focus but she needs to turn her head a bit more toward the camera? just my .02
pretty lady and nice image overall

David,
Exposure Great
Color excellent.
Focus perfect.
To improve it I would have her head turned a little more to the camera unless that is the look you were looking for. That angle shows her beautiful hair

As others have mentioned, a slight turn toward the camera would make this one perfect.
You also might want to include the top of the hat.
Gorgeous lady.

The turn of the head is extreme, causing her eyes to shift all the way to the left. Adds tension. The photo itself is very well taken, it's just posing the model that needs to be improved.

Lovely photo of a lovely girl. I found the lilac colour at the top of the picture behind the hat distracting.
Just a thought. cheers.

Several small, white circles above her right eye are distracting and could be cloned out. The purple color at the top right behind the hat could be cloned out too.

Remember the facial Views: Left profile (only the left is visible)Right Profile(Only the Right side is Visible)
Full Face (All the planes are Visible)Nose,Eyes,Both Cheeks,Chin....
In your Photo of the Model The Nose has to be in left side of her eye.

my biggest complaint is the flash is on the camera, the catch light in the center of the eyes makes her look not right. Get the flash off the camera, I agree with most of the other people.
