Hello there!
As a member of the critique squad of ~Portrait-Club, I'm here to give you some constructive critique on your work.
The whole mood and atmosphere of your capture is an A+, with great matching colour tones and a beautiful model.
Some things could still be improved though, to take your portrait from "wow, nice" to "wow my, what an amazing portrait, it makes my eyes bleed and cry!" (as another member wrote below me
)
First of all, I really think it could be a bit darker. The clouds in the sky are a bit burnt and her skin is too light on the left side of her face. A faster shutter speed would not only make the clouds and her face "write" better, but also the colours would be deeper and richer, something that would absolutely suit in this case, to bring out all the green, red and blue tones of your capture.
To continue, when taking photos of a model that is posing for you (meaning no spontaneous captures), you have the time to think, act and remove anything unwanted from your frame. For example here, that sleeve that we can see in front of her could be removed. Unnecessary things create "noise" in our photos and only work as a distraction from the main subject. Another thing that should be removed is that bag (?) on the background, that we can see just above her head.
One more thing that could be improved is the grass-things in front of her. It is a really great idea having some there blurred, but since your main subject is her face it's best to "keep it clean". I think it would stand better to the viewer's eyes with those middle ones absent, only with the ones on the left and right visible.
Finally, I would love to see this portrait on a horizontal capture too! I usually prefer vertical ones myself, but I think that in this one it would allow a bit more space above her head and a bit more info on her body, while still staying focused on her face. Also I would suggest experimenting with her eyes - tell her to look in different directions. I believe it would look nice if her eyes were turned more towards the sky. I'm not sure though, that would be up to you to decide, I just think you should experiment a bit more around that too!
Anyway, I hope this helped a bit! If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!
Take Care,
Ioanna
