The model looks much brighter than the environment. Not bad composition, but train tracks are so overdone and typically illegal in the U.S.

I love how the focus drops off.

I am struggling with the brightness of the model and the tracks on the left of the model.

Hi Josip, I'm going to be a little critical here but I have the intention of helping out here.

I would try to stay away from rail road tracks.
Although you get nice leading lines into our main subject, it's just not natural. It's too forced. People don't chill there. I get the vibe "I'm ready to die"

For guys it's important to block the crotch area. This can be done by blocking with one of the legs or hand.

A little fill light would be nice around the eyes. This can even be done in an editing software as well.

Nice lens you have here. It's bokehlicious! Keep taking pics!
