I like the processing and the light is excellent. However, the composition doesn't utilize the best features of this model, the long torso, to the advantage of the final product. Perhaps a wider shot would allow the viewer to take in more of the model, without, as it is now, bouncing from her compelling face and eyes down to the hand and belt and then back again, never allowing focus or rest. A bit more of the scene and this would highlight more of the strengths of your image.

Senior portrait? Overall I like the lighting and background choice. However, two things that take away IMO are the fallen diagonal branches upper left, and the one bottom right (that mirrors the angle of her arm). Minus those, this would be elevated substantially more score-wise.

Not sure about the tilt or the horizon right above her head which gives it a sinking feeling. She has a lovely smile.
