For me, the "unreal" feeling comes from the strong flash (probably around 30% or more contribution) and that gives the background with natural sunlight a fake feeling. This can be magnified if the subject is standing in shade and is standing against the brighter areas of the shot.
Is that background real? It feels composited because the light on her is so even.
yes..its real background..i don`t do composite..

shot like this you should be focusing on the eyes.... i humbly think you miss the eyes
I agree. Looks like the focus hits the cheek. We've all been there though.
