Nice overall look, but unfortunately it's focused on her sleeve and not her eyes... :/

It doesn't look out of focus so much as it just looks like the lens is really soft. And it's really noisy for some reason, that can contribute to loss of sharpness. Can't really tell because it's so dark
Why is it so noisy, anyways? You shouldn't need high iso in studio shots, since you have control of light. My studio shots are 200 iso max.

As far as appearance, I think it could use more front lighting

Swapped out my D5000 recently for an a6000. Took it on its first real tests in DC and New York (the latter trip I just came back from a few hours ago). Here's a few photos I took!

The ISO was at 100.
I don't want much front lighting, it was a test of rim lighting.

I don't know then, there's a ton of noise.
Unless what I'm seeing is JPEG compression; fitting that much resolution in a couple hundred KB

I'm not saying fully illuminate it, just a little fill light so you can see what's there

I almost think it might be this. The biggest reason I bit the bullet on Photoshop was so that I could export to PNG. That way, I wouldn't have to deal with the compression issue that Lightroom's JPEG exports would give me.
