Well I am sure she likely appreciates this shot better than your abstract one. ;)

From what I can see your hair light is spilling over and catching both her glasses and also just inside her collar causing some hot spots. The hair light must be almost bare bulb cause it seems a bit hard.

She is certainly a lovely model and this is a nice shot, but would be better without the situation mentioned earlier. :)

Good luck.

The light on the top of the head is a little too bright.

Something bugs me about the colour of the background - maybe it shoudl have been pure white or pure black.
