Hi Leica,
Not that I'm a fan of rules and conventions, but this crop looks odd to me. I think the dead space should be at her right side.
Otherwise, it's a pretty good portrait.
Good exposure, and lighting.
Elegant posing, and nice looking subject.
If i look at the highlight in her hair, it slightly too red, or more towards magenta..(red, and blue) Some minor colour correction, could done easily.

I'm guessing the white space is for some sort of advertising slogan or commentary..? Do wish you'd write a bit more :-)

Anyway, the pose is good, she looks at ease, nice smile, it's crisply taken and well exposed - so nice portrait.

Not bad work, it's sharp, crisp, clear, and the skin tones and details are natural and real - the kind of portrait I like.

The lighting is a little flat, perhaps a highlight or a rim-light effect from somewhere might create a little more dimension and dynamism.

I also find the leg-crop at the bottom is somewhat clumsy, as is the tight cropping on the right hand side of the frame when there is so much unhelpful negative space on the left.

Regardless, it's an interesting shot and she's a beautiful model.
