Hmm, not so hot here.

Film grain/noise for starters, the background is distracting, I would recommend not taking one right on a corner like this where you have two different light sources with different color balances. And the plant/thing is distracting. Also her expression is almost a bit angry.

You may want to refer to Rew Shearer for portraits, take a look at what he does and that he dosent use real super fancy equipment but gets amazing results!

Keep Trying :)

Blurred, figure too central and background distracts from the "model".

In your into you say "comments / critiques are very much appreciated". Understandable, but you would probably get more if you bothered to write some yourself.

Hi Jenny, I would suggest taking more of the left side off to her shoulder for thirds look. I would kick up the light a bit as there is a lot of noise here and then talk her through some expressions that might appear on her face. TFS
