That wall must have been pretty close.

Nice shot.

If you bounced off the wall then where does the catch light come from? It looks really small.

Honestly, the image is soft and flashy.

^^^ Agree. It's not that sharp and the flash seems a little too uneven/hot on the left side

Agreed with the two above. Also the higher angle that you are at makes it a little unflattering IMO especially the shadow her jaw makes. Next time try bending your knees a little and get level with her or very very slightly above level and take the shot.

Remember its also was easier for us, and you, to look at the image afterwards and say what you should've done but not necessarily easy when in a party environment with tons of people walking around so dont take the comments as bad.

It's kinda soft and I'm not a fan of the angle
