The top edge is, by far, the brightest part of the shot which competes strongly with your subject and, 2. There's a whooooole lot of "edge noise" being created by the buildings and trees right on top of the subject's head. When shooting portraits I like to keep the subject's head in a "clean space"; meaning without any distracting elements overlapping with, or crowding, the head/face of the subject. The shot also looks soft to me and I think it could stand some cropping.I'm not saying it's a bad shot, I'm saying it could be improved upon.</blockquote>
