I cannot put my finger on what is wrong with this picture. Can someone give me a creative insight? I cannot post in glam yet so I am here.

Her head's too big compared to her arms. Don't use a wide angle for these type of shots.

the light is too harsh and hot, the pose is unflattering, the lens choice doesn't help, the dof is neither shallow enough or large enough, distracting shadows, eyes out of focus...

I agree that her head appears too big as a result of too wide a focal length. I think that's the biggest issue with it.

looking at her eyes, it looks like the light is set to high and to close
