I like the muted colors and OOF BG. The slight turn of the head shows the rack nicely. Good to see someone is out shooting when the weather is less than ideal! :D

I prefer a bit more room around the edges, but that's a personal preference and sometimes hard to achieve with fixed focal lengths.

Beautiful detail and portrait. A bit tight on the right for my taste, but that's just me.
