Critique This portrait!

[Claudillama]

I was using my Nikon D3100, nikkor 50 mm 1.8 lens.. I was also using a flash and angel wing Diffuser..! What do yall think! Does the lighting work? setting ok?? model good? what would you have done differently?

I would pose her differently.

What are your reasons for posing her like this?

 

[Designer]

I perceive this as avant garde. You've cropped a portion of her hand, and I would probably diminish the brightness of a couple of those brightest spots in the background.

I like the pose, model, color and lighting but would like more space around her that would of course encompass her left hand.
