This was her favorite from the shoot. Any advice about making it better ?

Interesting composition.

Just a couple of points,

1. it would have been better if the wall next to her head was hidden from view so move her more to the left to obscure it or you move to the right.

2. A bit of fill in flash to to right side of her face to lessen the shadow's a bit so that you can see the outline of the eye.

3. Add a bit of contrast boost/saturation to the background to bring out the colours. Be careful that you don't over do it.

All of this you could do in post processing

This was my favorite out of the series as well. I agree with Roger on the wall beside her head but, I wouldn't change the lighting on her face or the background saturation. I think changing those would change the whole feel of the shot.

thanks for the advice guys. I shifted her over to hide the wall and i blurred out the background to make her stand out more, and i did up the saturation just a tad. what do you think?

Compositionally, I think it's better however, when you shifted her over, you blurred her around the edges. She doesn't stand out as much from the background now. I would try and redo the edit and see if you can keep her nice and sharp like in the original.
