Howdy.
Everything I write here on FM is intended to help. Everything I write is in a truly friendly spirit and tone of voice.
Unfortunately, you can't hear my voice on this forum, and written comments can be easily misunderstood for tone and intent. That is why I prefer to speak with people on a phone call when giving them advice and giving critical opinions (critique) of their images. Otherwise, what is intended to help someone can be taken wrongly, and that defeats the purpose of the communication. And, because I want to avoid flaming and trolls, I tend to refrain from writing some things here that could be instrumental in helping someone improve, but may be taken out of context or misused by others. So, I limit my written comments here...though I am sure some will disagree on that last point.
___________
1. She is a pretty, and that always helps a photo. But I look for something more in a portrait.
2. She has a facial expression that appears to me (or gives impression) as "uncomfortable" or "concerned." I don't find this appealing on this teen in this image.
3. It looks like she is just standing there waiting for the photo to be taken. Bored looking.
4. Composition is not the best. See how much sky you have, but notice how close her hand is to the edge of the frame. Also, her head is relatively small in the image.
5. The image appears (to me using a calibrated monitor) to be a little dim (underexposed) and the sky has a dull (underexposed) look to it.
As shown in this image, the person in the image fails to hold my attention.
I hope these comments help you.
