This not a bad portrait but not really a good one iether.
Your colour choice was choosen well. The soft colours with the pinks, browns and whites work really well in this photograph. You dof is amazing as well. The background is well blurred and your model really stands out.
There are a few things wrong with this photograph however:
Her pose.
It looks VERY uncomfortable. I do not know what she is doing but what ever she is doing does not look good at all. Her hand/ arm should have been behind her and she should have been leaning more to the back instead of leaning to the front. She looks like she is struggling.
Also.. where is her feet? Why are her toes and what is half of her leg cut off? In portrait photography this is a huge mistake. In this type of portrait you want to have the models legs in a sexy position. She has AWESOME legs. You need to have the whole model in the frame particuarly in a full body photograph.
In my opionion she shuld have been laying down completely or sitting in a sexy position with her legs showing.
So please, work on your positioning. Look up "portrait positions" on google OR buy a portrait book and read it.

Thank you for your critique!
I'm starting on portrait photography and my friend it's not a model. I'll follow your advices and try to improve next time. Thank you!

I really like this like! It jumped right out at me. The colors are top notch. I like the lighting, although I might knock the brightness down a notch. By not striving to make this a "sexy" portrait, the first thing I notice is the expression on her face. How did you light this, btw? Fav.

Thank you very much! I took this portrait at the end of the day. The sun almost gone and I add a gold reflector on the back off her to light that part of the face.
