| My only issue with this is the jacket is so dark it looses details. |

couple of things to remember...the wall (block one) doesn't add to this, love the brick but not the block....you want something very pleasing in the BG IMO (I think you were talking about a tree???) by using a low f-stop (It will give you a very beautiful bokeh background....BUT by doing that you will loose detail in the foreground...so be careful of that)...take some test shots before hand...just to see the difference you get in a high f-stop vs a low one....
and I would turn her shoulders just a touch...it engages people when the body is towards them IMO
what would happen if you were on a small ladder/stepping stool? More above her...
Now all that being said...bear in mind that taking pictures of people...well let's just say I'm not good at it...but I can tell you what appeals to me. I have to be engaged/drawn into the picture by the model |

It already is a very good portrait imhAo (A for Amateur!)
I would blur the wall on her right side some extra so more focus comes to her face.A little bit of retoucher on her face on the left cheek on the border with her jacket. (maybe it is something from the jacket?) anyway I would clean that. Then there is a little spot on her face and forehead. If you clean those you will have to do that on all shots so that's a decision you have to make.
Good luck!

| Hmmm... maybe a tighter crop? and to bring her eyes out more I could do some editing to make it stand out? |

| I think I would have cropped it a little differently, but that's me. You should also do something to bring out her eyes more. |
