Very nice picture, the model is extremely beautiful, however the croping could be a bit better, I think there is too much space at the right side of the image. Also, there is something greyish coming out of the model's head, I would erase it from the image for sure. The light is nice, the model is very beautiful and has a lot of potential. As mentioned earlier, her left hand is looking odd, it's because she's turning it to the outside too much. Also, you could ad a bit of contrast and saturation adjusting ;)
I'm thinking about something like this, please take a look and tell me if you like it:

Yeah your version looks fine. I left the space on purpose, I like to leave a little room sometimes especially in a shot like this where the surroundings are a big part of the photo.

I do like where you removed the gray hat....all the times I looked at this photo and various versions of it I never did see that grey hat.

Nice bench. I like the rustic rough granite look. Always have.

Hey thanks everybody, yeah it is pretty hard to mess up with a girl like this one.

Don't most girls elbows work like that, looks normal to me.

This is with a 42" softbox and speedlight.

What type of brand is the 42" softbox?

I must be sick. The first thing I saw was the elbow. Yes, it may be natural but it's not flattering in portraiture. And Les Baldwin's suggestion about the triceps. To be nit-picking, maybe her hair could be pulled back a little.

Anyway, it's a great picture!

Beautiful model, and spot on light. My only nit pic is that the angle of her left arm looks a little odd. Not a huge deal though. I think 99% of people would be staring at her face too much to notice.


Bet you 99% of the people wouldn't be staring at her face..:p

Great shot and natural pose...

I see the real problem with the photo- it was taken with a Nikon.
