I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.

These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

IMHO...
The bad. The whole photo is too blue on my monitor. Do you use color management?. I would like to see a copy where the overall blue is reduced while keeping the vibrance in the eyes.
The good. I like the way the model's eyes engage the viewer. It is like they are sharing an emotion. I often tell the model to think of a puppy or her boyfriend. A good model is an actress as much as a model.
I hope to see more of your work

This is a great image and I, too, love a punchy contrasty color grade. That said, Eddie might be right that she's a "little" blue (I don't mind the cast on the background). Her shoulder is distinctly different in skin tone from her face as well (I know this is makeup) but I'd warm up the rest of her skin to match the midtone on the face. Great work!
I too like the model's engagement with the viewer. I also don't mind the blue background. I like the exposure of her face, but her shoulder is a bit hot, and maybe a little more detail in the model's hair would be my preference. If the bluish tones in your subject were warmed up, the complementary color contrast would be pleasing. Overall, this is a great shot.
