The background color and blown out bits of hat and shoulders have an unfortunate impact on an otherwise fine capture of a pretty face. Unless purposely going for a Penney's catalog look circa 1982, I think a tighter crop would have helped a lot.
Excellent. Light, exposure, backlight, natural expression, direct eye contact, it's all good. Maybe one little nit: the top of the shoulder looks blasted.
What a great portrait. The only constructive feedback I have would be to watch the catchlites in the eyes. The two catchlites are a little distracting. If this was not a basic challenge I am sure you would have fixed it. Beautiful woman, nice high-key look to it. Looks like you blew out alot of highlights with your backlight. Maybe just a little less of a backlight on this one. (7)
