Really nice portrait, Rafael! I really like the tones, the lower contrast, and her gaze/pose, it's intriguing for sure.

A couple of things that, for me, would make this a stronger standalone image: the amount of motorcycle in the picture -- I think it's a little distracting to have the highlights in the wind screen reflection, as it's the lightest thing in the photograph. The second (admittedly very picky) is her tattoo, in relation to this photo. Because it's tucked between two dark things (sunglasses and jacket), it looks a little strange to me. Feels a little off center with the crop also.

Strong photo, might just recenter if you have cropped it already, clean her shoulder if it's something you don't love, and try to bring down the sky reflection in the windscreen. Obviously, entirely subjective, take with your taste!

I agree with Anton. I would've liked to see a shot either slightly higher so we lose the reflections but see the rest of her jacket, or a shot that has more motorcycle so that we really get that's what she's on. I didn't know it was a bike until Anton mentioned it.

I too wish the tattoo maybe played a slightly larger role. It could add to the bad*** biker chic vibe if it was a stronger part of the image. Maybe next time play around with her doing the same pose but the opposite side? Potentially shoot her from your left, her facing your right with her left hand up w/ the sunglasses.

Love the feel of this image though, well done!

Everything looks good, I only find the distracting reflection in the bottom left something to pick on. If I was really going to be picky there is an odd shadow or indent just above the middle of her bra. Love the tone and expression.

cool i really like the look
