One of a friend of mine

Heres a shot i took a while back, kind of a graduation picture type for a friend of mine. Lemme know what you think.

Composition....

Hi Levi, (and welcome)...

I feel you could have improved on this shot by changing the composition a bit. It looks like a fantastic backdrop with the trees and the river, which I think you could have utilized to your benefit.
Firstly, your subject is dead centre of the image, which in composition terms is a bit of a no-no. Think about this. Have this young lady leaning relaxed against the structure behind her, you standing a little to your right with your camera pointing up the river a ways, with your subject in the right hand third of the frame.

There is a lot on the net regarding composition which you can research, and it all helps.

Otherwise, it's a pleasing shot.
Many Thanks,
Barry.
