I like the play of light and shadow but I would like to see some fill light on the right. Nice expression.

The lighting is lovely on this shot, it really catches her eyes.

the ratio is very high, blacks without detail. works for some images, not for this one though.

Too much contrast causes glare from the background behind her left cheek at the same time perplexing blackness on her right side. Perhaps a bit of PS dodging/burning there would have helped. Her smile looks forced. I think overall we are not getting a more truthful portrait from an otherwise potentially honest subject. 6
