I beg your pardon in advance for my criticism but I think that you could have taken a better capture using one flash only. The fewer is more.
I would have placed the flash on left side of the camera and then her cheekbone would have made a shadow on her face and her face would have looked much narrower.

From one Malcolm to another .....
I like this shot.
I'll leave the technical suggestions to those with more experience,
but to me, you've got a great little model in a relaxed pose, and I hope to see more.

Thanks for your comments , it was my first time shooting in a professional studio and had no control in this session on how the lighting was set up , though i did take other shots without flash , just using the lighting so i did get nice shadows on the models face which i will post latter.

If I may suggest try to find the right position of the main light first. Then if you find the shadows too dark then try to fill those areas using filling card or another flash. You can use background light also to separate your model from the background.
My intension was the constructive criticism. I hope you didn't feel my words hurtful.

A little cropping could really rescue this shot!
:Thanks for the advice , but i don't like square portraits , just got to get my framing right next time , i was using a MF lens on this one and was concentrating on focus rather than getting the framing right.A little cropping could really rescue this shot!
