Welcome to the group, Mike. So now I'm "day dreaming" about Hayle. Nice image.

Welcome and you are starting off well. Great capture of a beautiful woman. A bit of a smile may have added more intrigue to her portrait. The sexiest part of any woman is her smile.

I have a daughter and a son as well as one granddaughter. I have always loved taking photos since I was a small child. I have been a member of "The Greater Lynn Photography Association" for 4 years now.

I use a Nikon D3200 camera for all my photos. I use the following lenses for my photos: a Nikon Dx VR 18-55mm lens, a Nikon DX 55 - 300MM Zoom lens, and a Nikon DX AF-S 85mm Micro Lens.

Welcome to the forum, Mike. Very pretty model and well posed. I notice that your photo is obviously a composite and I agree with Ourspolair about the softness of the focus. I say it obviously is a composite due to the sharp delineation around the model's hair against the background. I would suggest looking into the process of compositing in PS to better refine that very difficult area. I admit I am not an expert, but the process can be performed to allow better edge refinement to include those tiny stray hairs against the background.

Overall a nice photo and a very atractive model. Keep shooting and sharing. Thank you for the opportunity to comment and critique your photo.

Welcome to UHH Mike. I don't shoot portraits and don't feel I am qualified to critique your portrait other than to say it looks good to me.

Let me preface this response with the fact that I’m not a portrait photographer. But the things I notice that detract from the picture are as follows:
The last link of her neck chain is blurred.
The tag on her bra is showing.
The bottom of her bra is folded under.
There are some blemishes on her arm that should probably have been removed in post processing.
Otherwise, the pose is very good!

IMNPHO — Attention to small details is essential. Under her left arm the label for the top is showing, very distracting.

In addition to comments received from Ourspolair, Photohobbyist and HRBIEL, I would suggest brightening the eyes to bring out the blue in her eyes. Another improvement would to have been to create a catchlight in the eye.
