I am no expert in lighting but sometimes I have been in a situation where the natural light has produced something that I would struggle to recreate. Something as simple as a picture window in a cafe has brought great results. Your model has stunning structure, the pose I really like. Where is the light being produced from, window?
What stands out to me is that her face is much brighter than the rest of her, it looks almost like she's wearing makeup that is way too pale for her skin. Also there's a stark line of makeup on her cheek contour that should be blended better, which is the second place my eye goes; the third are her hands which look a bit awkward and claw like. I think if you had been at a lower angle, looking up at her slightly, this would be a bit nicer - as it is she appears to have not much of a neck (especially on the left / her right side where her shoulder is hunched directly into her cheek). She's lovely and natural light can be great, but keeping dimension in the face instead of flattening it out and lightening it is key to a good beauty portrait. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your feedback. The light is produced from a door
