First time trying something like this, let me know what you like, and what can be done to make it better.

Don't like the orange lips. The skin tones are really uneven all around too, especially the armpit area.

A light to define her hair could help this too.

Does seem sharp enough, but some more work needs done in processing.

The two busy patterns on the board and the garment pull my attention away from the model.

A very pretty model, but the others have made some very good points. In addition to what they said, that dark shadow in her armpit is really distracting.

Apart from the model does the rest of the cover look good?

Fonts: I like that you didn't use too many fonts. But I am not sure what you are going for in the font. It is very western instead of sporty. Also, I would play with the leading (vertical space between fonts) and the tracking (horizontal space between letters). I feel like the gaps are too big.

Also, I think it would improve if make the mast head taller and more prominent. It would be okay if part of the lettering for the mast head falls behind her a little. Might actually make it look more dynamic
