Nice lighting and pose ... except for her left wrist. That is posed very awkwardly. You should look at buying the book "Body Parts" by the late Don Blair to see proper posing ... especially hands, wrists and feet.

Wow, this gal is beautiful and you have done an admirable job on her. It appears you have the lighting, exposure and backgrounds nailed, now lets see what we can do to refine this image a bit and kick it up a notch!

In addition to Mr. Flory's suggestions, I offer the following tips. It does not appear she had all of her weight on her rear hip. I say this because her shoulders are level, and they should not be. If she shifts all of her weight to the rear hip it will cant her hips and her shoulders so neither are level. This will "unsquare" her body and give some flow and motion to it. Her head is also squarely on top of her shoulders, another hint that she has her weight equally distributed on both feet because almost all women will automatically tip her head to the high shoulders as soon as the hips and shoulders are canted. The 45 degree angle of her torso to the camera is EXCELLENT as is the quality of the lighting. Had you short lit her instead of broad lighting her, you would not have that shadow across her left eye, and it would have slenderized her a little and her breasts would have looked larger. Her right thumb should have been turned the other way, or better yet stuck into her pants pocket to lessen the sharp bent of her arms. The "rule" for women's arms is soft flowing bends not sharp "carpenter's 'T' square" bends as Don Blair used to say.

Lets see some more of the very beautiful young lady and you excellent work.
