Margot, I know you asked that viewers not rate this photo, but I couldn't help it. :) What an adorable girl! Is she your daughter? This is a very lovely image! Nice work, Margot.

I absolutely love this! Using a background depends all on the purpose. If it's a pure and classic portrait you're looking for then it's most common to do as Richard says but if you have another intention; To capture a mood or to portay a lifestyle then you might need some extra details. This one is brilliant, so lovely and I'm glad you have spared the effectful wall which makes a neutral yet interesting background. The ligth is coming from a 90 degree angle which is daring but it usually makes for some pretty neat effects as in this one. The left side is still lit up by this, maybe from a reflecting wall, maybe from a reflector held by yourself Margot. Don't know really but it's good anyway.
Oh, and such adorable girl you found!

I find all that wall very refreshing - why NOT use it as a background? She does seem a little alone i nthe frame - but not at all bothered by it,.

I like your subject! The lighting is good. Why do we see so many horizontal portraits? Is it necessary to show so much wall? Why not compose vertically and show us your subject larger in the frame?

The girl seems the be alone, very alone. But I think, that was not intended, or?
