I agree about the background, that needs to be taken into consideration with action shots as well as a portrait like this. You said this was just a quick shot so of course it would have been better framed so you weren't cropped off at the wrists. I think too with the fair skin the black straps create contrast and lines that cut thru part of you as the subject. And it looks like the exposure is off (although again, just a quick shot), but to get a good background etc. maybe you need to do some test shots without you in the picture as well as figuring out your positioning. If you can figure that out and get a shot smiling and more relaxed it could show your lovely features (and your hair is to die for! just make sure you check how it's arranged when/if you move and change poses - I've seen more portraits that would have been great if the photographer would have checked the hair after re-positioning and before releasing the shutter).
