get her to take three steps away from the backdrop and get a backlight in there, and this is great. a little space and shallow depth would separate her a bit, and i think that would be a plus, as well as losing some of the shadows. nice choice of colour behind her red hair. maybe a little unsharp mask too, but that's just my preference. well done.

Has a good softness to it. bringing the subject out and away form the background would give a softer feel and get rid of the shadow. Being able to see her eyes would make this a bit better shot IMO. Also squaring up the shoulders
The overhead lighting has left unsightly shadows under her nose and chin. Some fill light could have been used to lessen them. In addition, I find your background to be too plain
Nice colors. Just soft enough. On a personal note: would like to see more of her face and less of the left side. And for a posed shot attention to the necklas is imprtant. BOL
dark shadow under her chin and on her neck may have been avoided with a reflector (homemade or store bought). there are also other shadows that may have been softened in this way, or with a fill light.
a soft expression is also sometimes more effective with a tighter crop. :)
Well, it's not grabbing me. Hmmm... The background is kind of distracting with the fold so near her face. Her eyes are kind of half closed and she's looking in an unusual direction. There's a bit of a distraction in the black garmet by her neck with a bit of skin showing through. All that said, I think with a bit of effort you'd have something really cool here. Have her look up, perhaps.
Great pose, nicely lit hair and eyes. Perhaps a reflector (even some white card) placed where the model is looking, would have lifted the shadow on the neck a little.
I don't care for the pose or the lighting. The dark shadows under the chin against the pale skin is too contrasty. I would have cropped a little more off the left side.
