Best model ever right here.Title is because she always makes the best faces, but I need to tilt her head all around to get the lighting right.

You said you're not sure whether you're proud of this or not, and I think I can see what you're seeing that makes you think that way. Basically, this is a staged glamor shot. Her expression, the lighting, the tilt of her head, the fall of her hair--all glamor, baby. However, there are a lot of little details that distract from that. Glamor shots are pretty rigidly focused--a lot of the time, they're on a plain background, even. The sleeves of her shirt, the chain of her necklace, and the screen on the window behind her--these are all slightly distracting, I think. They make it seem not staged enough, if that makes sense. The focus should be on the pretty, even to the point where it's artificially enhanced, if say, you needed to go through and photoshop off some errant hairs.
Overall, it's a lovely shot. The lighting is awesome, and the model is fantastic. All it needs is a little cleaning and polishing and I think you have a standout shot.

Thanks, for the fantastic critique.
I think you're right, it really looks much more staged than it actually is. We really just jumped onto her bed and sat next to the window and started shooting.
So I think it's the casual elements of the background mixed with the kind of glamor-y expression that bugs me. It's just a weird juxtaposition.
