it's hard to give a good critique because I can only guess what you were trying to express here. in generel i like the scene you have chosen but I have to agree to daisha. In the first moment it seems like a common commercial but when i ignore that fact and look on the scene in generel I look at a woman that hides in a calm spot like a star that tries to hide from a big cloud (my interpretation regarding positioning of the subject, body alignment and view direction). If i have guessed your idea right I have to say that the chosen format takes a lot of the scene's intensity. The 2:1 format is like a cage for that big scene i can imagine here. I would have had staged her more cinematically; like 3:1 or something. (see Kafka's "The Process" staging loneliness and hopes) Biggest issue that I see is that she has nearly no headroom.
But all in all, don't get me wrong, it's a very good work!
Technically I like the colors and levels of the scene. Only the sharpness is a thing that could have been better.
Regarding several spots and generel lighting I cannot understand the bluish spot at the upper right backrest and the reflections in the lower right corner on top of her feet. This seems more like a mistake in comparison to the rest of the scene.

I hope you will add a little explanation of what you were trying to achieve. I like that picture and you did a great job with that model. I hope my critique is not too hard but I tried to review every detail in that composition without viewing your professional status. Hope I gave you some points to develope your work. I am really looking forward to see more in future. If you like i can explain my views on things more detailed in a pm.

cheers and keep on doing such works!

I put the originality lower because it seems like a typical add you would see in a magazine or board. I feel like I have seen this before even though I haven't. The lighting is great. I love how the darkness vanishes more and more when reaching her. Her lips are gorgeous in this picture. They definitely stand out. I also enjoy the position that she is sitting. I notice her body line, then the line in her dress and how they contrast with the lines on the couch. Great line symmetry. Keep up the great work! You did a great job!
