Nice to see you doing portraits ! looking forward for more

The bigger problem with this shot is the unflattering perspective and distortion provided by the wide angle lens. Her hips look unnaturally wide in this photo. Something most women would like to avoid. I doubt she would like the way she looks in this shot.

Also you may could try getting higher than your subject. You seem to be shooting from below, and this just accentuates her hips. If you shot from somewhat above that should change.
Thanks for the feedback Mitchell. She loved the shot btw. I like the dramatic lighting and using a reflector would have made it ordinary. I agree on the lens distortion. I need to practice with regards to getting a non-distorted image using a fairly wide angle. The drama of the wide perspective is something I enjoy very much. You are familiar with Platon right? His use of wide angle in portraiture is inspiring.
