Hi, David. Nice portrait. Exposure is well done here. Nice expression and smile. The eyes are very sharp. The background pattern and colour are supporting your main image too. Thanks for sharing.

Great natural pose and light is excellent - soft box worked well here. Only crit is the dof, with hair and right hand out of focus. Thanks for sharing.

This is a very good portrait, the light and the skin color is perfect and the expression of the model is very very nice! Thank you for sharing, this is a great photo!

I love her expression, she is really enjoying this photo shoot. I'm seeing a blue color cast most noticeable on her left arm. That is a minor nit-pic on a very professional looking image.

good portrait, some changes i would make are

skin tones are a little blue

the lips should be fully closed if possible

I like to see better hand placement if possible

"1000 watt" seem a bit low powered; I'd guess 1000 joules or 1000 Watt second would be 3600x more accurate ;)

Love the similarity of tones between her eyes and the background; and it gives great results with her hair colour too. I'm not sure if I like the framing; it feels a bit too tight for me.
