Welcome to the forum. But a little advice first: it would be more beneficial to you if you read the critique section rules before posting.

Thank you
I read it.

Hi I find the background a bit distracting with the branches coming out of her head and the lighting is a bit contrasty.

all the best

Thanks for reading them, but now, would you mind adding your exif, resize your photo to be 740 or less and let us know what you want help with. Please and thank you

I agree with Bruce, but I'll still critique what I see but I can do a much more in-depth critique with EXIF information.

Too much clipping on the head, facial expression and pose does not work for this "model," and a reflector could help to get some more details on the left side of her face that has a bit too much shadow. You can fix some of this in post processing (lightroom) by playing with the blacks, or shadows, or fill light sliders and you can bring in a bit more details on the left side of the image (face).

You can see the EXIF in lightroom or if you upload it to flickr (from what I know of).
