Once again soft lighting under a performance tent.

for me it is a little tight... it would be a good image for wed site or publication... but soft light left no real shadows on her face so there is little drama in the face... but the heavy makeup really helps... was it a crop?

I try to fill the frame with all shots (left over from my 35mm film days). There was little cropping involved with this shot.

Thanks for the comment

It depends on what you want to show of course, but I would have added a bit more impact by pushing the exposure by 1 stop. Most likely I would also push the contrast (and some vibrance / saturation) to add more "pop".

The makeup is dramatic, so I would try to push the picture a little.

At first I did not realize that the photo is a tight vertical. I thought the white background extended far to the right. And because I found that to be dramatic, I thus think you might like a more horizontal presentation of the image. (I'm not asking to see a different image from the same shoot. I'm suggesting work in Photoshop or other software to extend the white area to the right.)

Nice shot.
