Hi Nathan... Actually when doing portraiture, there is a great deal of personal taste. IMHO, I believe if you take this shot of your sister, crop to the bottom of her hair @~, you remove the distraction of her designed shirt, and place the emphasis on her face/eyes. Additionally, I might consider desaturating into a B&W world. Some photos really pop when visualized B&W. Also, next time try stopping down the aperture a bit to kill the background, and compress a bit more with @~ 135mm lens or equvalent digital...Obviously, this is just my Opinion. Nice work though, keep it up!
cheers,
Bill

A lovely portrait, Nathan. Interesting how the subject looks like she might have been the model for the figure on her t-shirt.
I have a couple of thoughts on how you might improve the photo. I think you could bring out the highlights of the models face a very small amount to bring out the dimensionality of her face just a little. You could consider cropping the photo at the waist, reducing the forward thrust of her upper body a little. I think you might reshoot and increase the depth of field just a small amount to bring her right arm more in focus.
You've obviously had a lot of practice at portraiture (and I haven't), and this is really a fine portrait. So you can take my suggestions with a grain of salt.
Well done!
Steve

Although your sister is sweet and delrubba, but somehow your image doesn't have a 'soul'!
You could take her to a better place without those crazy background.
Hope to see more improved images from your cute sister.
By the way what is her name?

The composition and the expression is good. Only i want to say regarding background. Why u did not choose a simple background or control the dof so theat it looks more blurred.
