Happy Death?

What are you telling us here, Andrew? There seems to be a disconnect between the title of your post and the image. I know it was taken at the cemetery, but even so I don't see the logic that connects the image with the title.
As for the shot, it's pretty good: attractive girl, smudged makeup, distracting background.

Thanks Lee, well as the title states " Happy Death? ". My sister is the model for this shot, she wasn't trying to smile but she could not help herself. So i guess what i'm trying to say/ask is she happy about death? i.e. the smile and smeared makeup in the cemetery.

If she's anything like my sisters, she's just happy to have her picture taken. The light on her face is nice and her expression is intriguing; not unlike the Mona Lisa's enigmatic smile. Usually we want some white to show on both sides of the iris when shooting a portrait though this is a bit of a technicality you may want to consider in the future.

OKay, how do I fix that, I am still new to photoshop and lightroon, maybe fill in the light some more?
