her face seems oddly blurry and out of place. did you airbrush it or something? pose is kinda weird. like you asked her if she could pet her head and rub her stomach at the same time then took a picture.

hahah!
yeah, the right arm kind is somewhat distracting, i know.
and nope, no airbrushing. as far as pose goes, i didn't ask for anything specific except for her to hold her hair back, because it looked better than it simply draping down.
it's part of a shoot i did for her and her sister--family photos, really, nothing fancy.

Definitely not too bad for a beginner. But before doing these things you have to have at least a couple of shots in mind. Think about the body as a structure for more body shots. Choose an emphasis on angles or curves, or possibly even texture. Allowing your subject to do what they will generally doesn't produce the best results unless of course they've modeled before. Sometimes some models require strict direction before they can get comfortable. For closer shots, better portraits usually come out of focusing on the eyes or catchlights if there are any.
