Looks good, although I'm thinking, because there is so much negitive spage, what if you cropped it to 4x5, or 4x3? That may make it look better, like this
Hi Alex. for me this is a good mood frame. as talked much, compostion with negative space at the face direction is very good. it adds meaning to the frame. sure it could be free of signature distraction.
Posting a query here about the lighting. as I see the face has literally no shadow. its flat. the hands has over exposed highlights. there are dark spots at the neck and sides due to the props. at my assumption, the single light is above the camera to a little right than centre?
For creative discussion, how the lighting could be better? any thoughts from all? thanks.
It's a good observation on the light. If you were going for lounge singer feel, the light could have some color perhaps to contrast the dress and bring some life to her face.
If it's meant to be light a spotlight on her face, almost directly in line with her face and thus minimal shadows, then you could echo that on the backdrop or use some atmospheric edits to help us see that spot.
I feel the light is too bright for this image. It would make a much better low key image. Pull the shadows a little to not lose detail.
I love the pose and the negative space to the left.
As mentioned above, a colored gel for the background would add a different feel to the image.

I like it. Personally, I like the negative space.
The sig/watermark is a huge distraction, though.
I agree that the watermark is distracting
