I think this would be much improved if it were in the traditional portrait position, as the negative space of the wall doesn't really add anything. She is pretty and carries the photo by herself.

Wow. The background is spectacular and so is the lighting. Focus is crisp, the shadows are informative and well controlled. There is even an appreciable amount of texture in the strongly lit white jacket. The framing strikes me as inspired. Normally I would imagine chopping the photo far short of where this one extends, but this crop emphasizes the gaze and gives it space. The very subtle diffuse treatment of the jacket gives a glowing quality that echoes the musing of the subject. and the fabric of the top echoes the color of the eyes. It's a masterful presentation. Super.

Not sure what it is I really like about this, but it jumped out at me when I first viewed it - that's a good thing. I think it is the contrast and composition and brighness of her face. Very good. Best of luck!
