Mariann portrait

I am a newbie on this site, and this is my first post.
Mariann is a makeup artist, we have already worked together during some previous photoshoots. But now I invited her for a common photo session where she would be the model, this is one of our results.
I would be happy some useful feedbaks.

Exif: f/1.8, 1/200, 85mm, ISO 200

She makes a lovely model. Her eyes look very fake...or possibly she just has incredibly light eyes, in which case I apologize. On my cheap monitor I am currently looking at photos on, here pupils even seem oblong, like a lizard. Love the color tones and the pose works for me.

Hi Joseph,
Thank you for your lines, its useful for me.
Tell the truth I add a little light and saturation to the eyes, so its fake.I will decrease it.
Im glad to hear that you loved the colorued.

Like it, would like a little less flat light on face.

Hello Moi,
Yes, I see. I should have decreased the amount of light.
Thank you for your thoughts.

It's very good for an early attempt but this is a surprisingly hard genre.

Aside from the problems already mentioned, her hands and raised arm look over-large. In general, create space between the limbs and body, don't put hands nearer the camera than the face - at least not unless you're far enough away to get a half body shot with a 200mm - and try to keep hands side-on rather than showing their backs.

Hello David,
Thank you so much your suggestions regarding hands keeping, I will keep it in my mind.
