I hardly see any overexposure in her face, Giap. I'd rather say the background looks a tad too washed-out. I would have selected and darkened it a bit by postprocessing - but not too much as it may not detract our attention from your model on the foreground.
I like the way you "embedded" her in this scenery, creating an interesting contrast between the dark wall and the flashy red of her long cloth. I think I just would have opted for a POV a little more to the left, leaving out some centimeters of the right part of the photo (even if this implies cropping a part of the red cloth). In my opinion, indeed, there is a bit too much "useless" space in the back of your model.
A model who achieved a good pose and facial expression : static, enigmatic - coherent.
Interesting work...
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Nothing wrong with this shot at all - no OE to speak of! I like the richness of colour in her dress and the lantern. The composition, although centred, is about right for this shot, given the way the dress sits beneath her.

The only changes really would be very minor; remove the branches/leaves above her head and in the top left corner of the frame; perhaps allow a little more space on the left. But overall - stunning.

hi Giap

In my view, this is a wonderful portrait because you have done a nice work for a few good reasons

.great red dress and yellow lantern
.good choice of location and sunlight
.pretty lady with nice smile and hairdo
.superb pose

I would do some changes here
.crop off just above her head
.move a bit to the right so her arm is not fronting the rock

Great work!

tfs, bill

Stunning color and light in this shot. The detail is fantastic and I don't think it is overexposed. Welcome back to TL and I hope you continue to post such nice images more often. TFS

I've seen your second version, it lacks some more space in front of the girl, maybe another format, like this one ???
