This is my first time so I am still trying to figure out how to do things.

I think you've got a nice picture here; however, I'd loose the the clutter in the background: the cars and that ugly fence.

Also, parking lots don't usually make good backdrops for portraits, which is what I think you're going for here -at least not any I can think of, lol.

For pictures like these, I like to isolate my subject, and If I do include other things in the background or what-have-you, I'm careful they relate to the subject somehow, or at least add to the particular mood/feel of what I'm capturing; and if not, a nice clean or blurred background is always safe. Those are just my own rules, nothing set in stone somewhere, but it may give you something to think about next time.

Thank you for the critique. That was really helpful. I'll try to do what you suggested.
