I still want to know why the original poster chose to shoot in the dark...there's no sun.
A great time to shoot is just before sunset (an hour or so)
the rules are just suggestions. You can use them, you can ignore them.
Here I shot with the sun BEHIND the model
the feel is far more important
if the feel is good, the client will often like it
composition, lighting...all that is just garnishing
If high ISO bugs you, switch to B/W
Don't be afraid to crop in close, don't be afraid to experiment.
Find what you like. If you're not selling to a client, shoot for yourself.
What makes a portrait good is if you can connect with your subject and bring that connection into the picture
