The first thing that seems obvious is the model looks as though she is having a laugh....!

Thats a good start, Because the rapor between photographer and model, Can make or break any shoot.

However its all a tad downhill from there I'm afraid.

First backdrop material needs ironing.... Steam irons are best.

Lighting is a bit flat, You don't say what you had in the way of lighting kit, So its hard to offer and further advise.

I'm guessing you wanted a white background....?

If so you need to read up on how best to achieve this, But the basics are, You light the background to a higher value than the lighting used for your model.

Lighting on model, A single light with a reflector can be useful, But again with no clue as to your light setup, Its hard to add more.

While we are on that, Some camera shooting data, Might prove helpful for more in depth advise.....

Model and pose, Fisrt the model looks fab.....

But as mentioned by " devlin " bits chopped off, Unless it was intentional, Its something to keep an eye on.

Models pose looks awkward almost as if she was falling backwards at the time, Take plenty of time when composing your model, Try to get a pose that looks comfortable, As well as fits the frame.

Lastly, Put more distance between your model and the background, This helps with reducing/removing shadows, But also allows the background to be " Out Of Focus " DOF wise, So the need to iron will be lessened, If not removed altogether.

Overall, Not a bad first real go, You have a good model tostart with, Looks as though she was enjoying the experience, So thats a great start.

Constructive Critique!
