I hesitate to offer my amateur musings here among the professional advice already given, but here goes anyway:
First off, you have a very attractive model in a becoming dress. I visited your web site and was struck with her beautiful smile in the other pictures, so I probably would have selected a picture with a smile. Of course, a smile doesn't flatter all subjects, but it suited your model well.
I personally found the background to be a little distracting, a little too in focus. It would be nice if there were more distance between the background and the subject so as to blur the background. I'll bet the same effect could be achieved in photoshop.
Someone suggested getting closer. I think maybe filling more of the frame with your subject would be a good idea, but the perspective seemed to be good from whatever distance these pictures were shot (you know getting in too close can exagerate features in a not so good way).
Thanks for posting, I learned from your practice.
P.S. Your site has some wonderful pictures. Perhaps it's just the work of a good photographer, but it seems you live in a wonderfully idyllic setting. Loved "under the bridge milford." It looked more like the work of a painter creating the perfect scene. I'll bet you could get some nice portraits with nature as a backdrop as well.
