She looks like she is about to strangle you.

I think you need a little more pop in your lighting. As for the pose- not my favorite for her face shape, also looks like she is leaning backwards? Keep trying do lots of poses and lighting every shoot if possible.

I had intentionally kept the mood reclusive. As for lighting, I wanted more shadow for details.

Here is another one with different flavor.

Two nice shots , although I prefer the second. The first looks a little chunky with the scarf where it is. But lovely lighting and lovely colours.....

does she not like showing her teeth? I think she is in a mood with me.... ;-)a
