Interesting discussion.
I kinda like the portrait, but I agree the background is a touch dominating. Adding a flash to make the model stand out from the background might have worked.
I'd be interested to know what lens was used, because it seems to have been shot with a longer telephoto (70-200 @ 100mm or more) pulling the background closer to the subject. Perhaps shooting at 50mm might have given a bit more distance between the subject and background, rendering the bokeh a bit smaller and less distracting.
As for the model/styling, the hair and clothing are quite delicate, which is slightly at odds with a large tattoo on the arm, if that is the intention, then fair play, if not then the tattoo is taking attention away from the face.
Are there any other shots from the shoot that have different poses or backgrounds?
Just my thoughts.
