First time studio

[AngeloDefensor]

Hello so excited in my first time studio shooting and learned loads of thing from the mentor. I still consider myself a beginner and so many things I need to learn on photography. I directed my subject and I am still learning to do it. I want to know if my composition is okay, exposure and sharpness of my subject. I am also learning how to do post processing.

EXIF DATA:
MANUAL SETTINGS:
Camera Canon EOS 500D
Exposure 0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture f/10.0
Focal Length 30 mm
ISO Speed 100
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Flash Off, Did not fire
Manual focus

Hi -
nice first time effort.
First question? What happened to her skin on the stomach/chest? Looks like you tried to dodge it too much? Your overall exposure needs to come up some...you have no detail in the blacks. There are some PP artifacts in the background that would be better if they weren't. The skin tone appears to be off (too red/magenta). Pose is nice, nice catchlights.
So a couple of things but easily correctable on your next effort.

I am also very confused as to what happened on her stomach area..
I'm no pro or anything but maybe not do that to it?

I also agree on the lack of definition on her black coat.

One thing that bothers me in this picture aside from the stomach-mentioned issues is the halo around the subject. It draws my eye away from the focus of the photo.
