This is the last one for now, more later.
I love the concept and location.
Needs a little fill flash to pop the eyes and add catch lights.
What is she looking at? Eyes a little to the side good, all the way bad. She was funny - she did that on her own most of the time. I think she likes how it looks, and I just let her lol.
Does she smile? Yes, but NEVER when I was looking at her through the camera! Lol I am under the impression she doesn''t like how she looks when she smiles. Most of my models have done this quite a bit - is that a style maybe?
I would have told her to imagine there is a hot hunk walking down the side walk towards her then captured a dreamy look on her face.
The green plant behind her looks a little like it is growing out of her head. LOL I never even noticed that.
lightening it in post would eliminate that a little more.
So far it looks like your doing a good job on location and the controlling exposure.
The next step is controlling your model(posing and expression) and some fill flash.

I''m going to do the rest later 30 min is about my limit for deep CC before my eyes cross.
Try this next time, camera in manual mode, set the proper exposure, turn on pop-up flash set it to the lowest power setting or 1 up.
Adjust as needed.
The goal is to catch the eyes and lighten shadows but not change the overall exposure.
