nice colours and processing Azat, my only thoughts are that she is a little lost amongst the background. Maybe a tighter crop would give more focus on the subject. id be tempted to get rid of most of it and just leave the rock as the backdrop.

i thought about that but i wanted to keep the building at the background

Hmmmm, seems to break most of the rules but I like it. I wouldn't crop too tight if I were you or you'd lose the context of the surroundings and I think this portrait is more than just about the person. I think you could lose a little bit from the left hand side of the picture to bring more attention to your friend without losing the setting.

thanks where i can find these rules? just to make sure i'm not breaking them next time

Relax, I meant things like the rule of thirds, not forum rules.
