Welcome to your photography forum. At our table we have many professional photographers and hobbyists that offer a wealth of information.

I like your capture. It offers nice portrait and lends itself to providing a story line.
I would like to offer a light critique. Ambient lighting is good but will provide some shadows and darkness to the face if not used properly. When photographing a woman's hair, do your best to keep it away from the eyes to some degree. That way the eye that is being covered won't wince or blink. It is always best to avoid the "winkies, blinkers and nods." Try your best to keep the portrait symmetrical and not across the frame on an angle. You won't see the observer trying to match the direction of the portrait. Finally, have a person look slightly off to either side rather than directly at the camera lens. It is a softer focus and gives the person some unique character. I hope you don't think me as harsh in my critique.
Overall, this is a nice portrait because there is little background. From head to shoulders shows the viewer you are deeply serious about the capture. The model's hair is well lighted and has a modicum of reflection and definition. Seeing both eyes and her nose make the photo appealing. With a mouth closed she doesn't look like she is talking or yelling. Smiling is okay but that can be hard to do. If I notice a person not smiling and intimidated by the huge glass eye staring at them I will do something slightly comical. I keep a child's finger puppet in my bag. I pull it out and place it on my index finger when pressing the shutter. just to get a giggle.

Overall, a lovely portrait of an attractive woman. The photograph makes the other person looking at it to keep on looking. The viewer will find the photograph appealing and will smile back at it in return.
Sincerely, Scruples

Happy Shooting!

Is it possible for an 18-55mm lens to capture a beautiful full moon?

Hi. This was some of the photos I took last week, always love looking at this beautiful flowers. You can see the differences between the photos, about the focus. As far as I can remember the camera was in manual mode, F5, 1/100 or 80 I guess. ISO on auto mode.
