Its ok, but I would have made a bit brighter to get a bit more detail from the dark blue shirt. You can either lower the shutter to 1/100th or lower the aperture to f/2 or 2.5 from the 2.8 you have. But you can or should be able to fix that in post processing such as photoshop or lightroom, if you're using lightroom you can use shadows and move it to the left a bit that should remove some shadows in the shirt and bring some more detail in that area.

2 Composition
Good and interesting, not bad, except its "dead center" which makes it have a cheezy feel at times, but it works well in this shot but again I think it would have been a stronger photo if rules of thirds was used.

4 Processing, including color tones.
just exposure, bringing in some detail in the dark blue shirt.

5. Pose
Really good and different.

Overall its a good image.

Hey,

Thanks a lot for your comments. Really appreciate it. I have reworked on the image, not a lot of changes though.. Just fixed the exposure and made sure the details of the t-shirt are back. I hope you like it..

About the dead centre thing, I kind of like it this way, coz I intended to shoot it in portrait mode, so possibly could not apply the rule of thirds here.

I like the second shirt better. But she's getting a little "washed out".

composition/crop....a little too centered. body lines suggest rt side.

Post...fine, but the bumps in the bricks near her arms need removed.

Pose...interesting but I don't "get it". What is she holding and why i she holding it like that? Why are her eyes closed?

I like the original one fine. Looks like a magazine add
