Here's my take on it:

From DPS


Great model. Love her eyes. The picture needed to be cropped. The rule of thirds helps in this but know when to break the rules.

The background could be exposed a bit longer to get a nice white background. This is done with a longer shutter speed.

I cropped the picture, desaturated her skin a bit and added a little pop to her eyes as well as get rid of the dark circles under them. There were a few miscellaneous touchups as well like very slight skin smoothing and blemish removal but she has almost perfect skin so that wasn't really a big deal.

Next time I'd open up the shutter a bit longer to get a white background and not have her slouch. Need to sit up straight or even leaning back. Think dynamic lines. Dynamic lines are usually diagonal.

My experience? I have an opinion and I shoot people hehe.
