Not a huge fan of the background, but she looks fantastic.

Yep, too jittery and busy...something with fewer lines running every direction would be better, IMO.

Good call, I wouldn't have thought of that but the blues are what draws my eye to the background.

Since you allow image editing, I played around with it a little. It appeared to have a yellow cast on my monitor, so I tried correcting the color and then cropped it. What do you think?

yeah the color tint was toning, but the neutral is nice too. I'm gonna try desaturating the blues and see what it looks like, thanks for the tips!
