Hi Bethany,
The smile and the pose are great, though the image is pretty flat in contrast and kinda' muddy in color. Not sure if you were trying to acheive a certain look or not.

I played with it a little in Photoshop and came up with these 2 versions real quick like:

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM

This looks like it would make a great year book photo.
Great smile.

I agree the photo could use more contrast. It also seems that the focus is a bit too soft.

See what you think of this version of the image. I basically sampled the colors that were already in it to get your hair, eyes and lip colors. Then I sorta "painted" those colors back into the image. The background was just to be different...

I also sharpened and did local contrast enhancement (via USM) and then applied curves.

Anyway, see what you think:
