This portrait was done in a little street around 1 hour before sunset in a shade where light was coming from a single way.

Any chance we could see what it looked like before editing? On my display it seems like it was dodged a bit too much in post.

i would crop out some of that left side.
those two bright lights are really distracting. maybe crop it to the wall.
overall, i like the processing on this.

I toned down the dodge and burning now ( edited the thread )
I can send you the before picture if you want though.

I dont want to crop the lights, i like wide pictures and i decreased the brightness of the lights quite a lot so it doesnt distract as much , it adds a different element to the picture for me. Thanks though !
