Hi,

I think it is not very clear what the image is about and that is what is missing. She is sitting on the floor at the bowling touching her legs which are cut. My first impression is she is somewhat discontent and tired. Still I really don't know what the image is about - is it about what she is doing, is it about the way she looks? Neither of the two shows.

The colors are beautiful, the technical quality is good but that is all. Also is there a particular reason to use harsh light? It looks like a little like a reportage: caught in the action of doing nothing.

I think you can use her nice look for portrait shots (maybe beauty shots) and perhaps something with more action and emotion.
