My first portrait

Hi, could I get some feedback on this shot :) One of my first portrait shots that I'm actually quite happy with and I'm even somewhat satisfied with the retouching. Cheers :)

Overall good exposure, interesting photo even when I don't like winter portrait's it kind of works here. Eyes are in area of interest that's for sure a success portrait. I would probably retouch the shadows over face, especially under her lips area. I would also think maybe on different composition, unless centric and static composition was intended. Her gloves are also kind of distracting me here, I can't tell you why exactly? Maybe because they are cut in half? I can't say. Overall good job :)

Thank you! I wanted to go for a centric composure, as I thought the hoodie created a nice "vignette" aroun her face. And the symmetry in the background surprised me when working on this so I really wanted to go with a spot center attention point.

Touching on what Pawel said with the shadows some dodging and burning would definitely definitely make this image a better image and the gloves aren't so distracting to me but i see where it could be a distraction because of the white snow on it and behind it is a dark blue coat but overall good image nice work

Thank you, much appreciated! :)
