A near perfect photograph , blurred background had a very clear lady . I would not have her in the center of a photograph , I would have placed but her to the left or right.

I think this picture is a fine portrait.
I have no objection to centering the subject, although maybe I wouldn´t crop her hair decoration. The skin tone is very warm and pleasent, and she is well detached from the background, as mentioned.
Very good work.

The light on your subject is so even! And perfect DOF to show her off. Excellent.

Excellent portrait largely due to the proper use of DOF and, of course, the engaging pose of the subject.

Un portrait très doux de cette belle jeune femme, dommage pour le sommet de sa coiffure. J'aime beaucoup l'expression de son visage. Interrogative, elle regarde vers l'inconnu pour nous et son expression est à la limite du soucieux. Amitié/jr
