So, first of a set of images taken with my new 85mm 1.8. Playing around wide open with some depth of field. This picture is straight out of the camera, no editing. It was lit from camera right with my new Apollo Orb (Which is great BTW) and my speedlite. I like the image, I like the out of focus areas. But what could I do to improve? Partly with regards to composition, but mainly to make the colours "pop"? Ive seen many images where they look vibrant and nicely saturated without being over the top, but I was really hoping I could achieve those sort of results in camera, without having to do too much processing. Maybe im expecting too much but for now ill put it down to bad technique. Any advice would be appreciated.

Some of the photos in the 85mm group look amazing! (Flickr Search: canon85mmf18 I want to be able to take photos like some of these. As always though, im too critical of my own pictures sometimes and think they look terrible, even if someone else looks at it and says it looks nice, so what do i know!
