Can't tell if that shadow is the model, but it is a bit distracting. The hair could be hit with a hairlight to bring it out a little more and get the detail to show.
This is a really good portrait. The pose and the expression are flattering and look natural and relaxed, the skin tones are perfect, and the red accents add appeal. The only problem is the light areas (the large one behind the model's head and the smaller ones elsewhere in the background). They definitely draw the eye away from the model. That's a real pity, because with a less obtrusive background, this portrait would be really excellent.
I'm curious as to the light source. The lighting on the model is pretty good, but the harsh shadows in the background really detract (the backgroudn is also very unflattering).
too bad about the shadow--you could mask that background and replace it, lovely model, would like to see more of the shadow-detail in her hair. If you're using Photoshop maybe you could recover a little of that?
I like your model's expression (and even the frizz against the light wall). But that shadow almost looks like a monster is about to attack. Some back light might have helped.
Nice looking subject, with captivating features. I find the red thing in front of her and the shadow in background to be a bit distracting. Detail in the hair is lost. I'm guessing a flash of some sort might help, but I'm not an expert.
Beautiful, beautiful image. Only the unfortunate background shadow mars this excellent photograph. I think you could have gotten rid of most of the shadow with cropping and then cleaned up the remainder since this is Advanced Editing. Nevertheless, great work.
This is an excellent portrait as far as the face goes. The lighting is really good. The shadow behind her is distracting though. Not sure about the red something in front of the chest. I'd crop that out. I'd like to see this in more of a studio setting with a solid backdrop. The skin tones are good and for a "regular" setting, nicely done.
