Not necessarily head on but the eyes toward the camera. Two, focus on the eyes. Three don't cut off the top of the head. Four, with only one person in the shot use a vertical (portrait) format. That works best most of the time. Five, try and keep distracting junk out of the background or put the background completely out of focus. Six, the white balance is a little off, too warm, it needs to move more to the cool side for a more natural look. And last try shooting at different angles. Most everyone takes photos at eye level. Add a little interest by shooting up from a lower angle, or down while she is sitting at a desk. Don't get stuck at eye level.</p></blockquote><p></p>
