Well, for starters, you brought your camera into our bedroom.

Funny idea, good acting. Amazed if you held still that long.

Sexy but looks posed. I admire you trying to catch this extremely awkward moment on film. I would maybe having her turn completely away from you and maybe try to adjust the WB so everything doesn't have that orange glow. (what was the light source?)

The problem is your shooting 4's and 5's and she wants a man who can give her 6's and 7's. If your not careful she may be vacationing in Iceland soon. Please, for the sake of your relationship learn just a wee bit of photoshop.

From the Critique Club:

Though this shot fits the challenge perfectly well, I believe that it suffers from a lack of an interesting subject. There is nothing in the shot that can hold your eye and keep you interested. There are no compositional elements that can take the place of an interesting subject. All there is is some harshly lit sand and the shadow. There are some features in the sand that could help the shot in different lighting. The smooth rolling textures at the top or the roughed up textures at the bottom. However they need the nice lighting that comes from early morn or late evening light. Another thing that may have helped this shot would have been to make the shadow more interesting. Not just you standing there taking the picture. Perhaps you sitting on the beach or in a running pose. Something to take the shot to the next level.

I have many shots in my port from challenges that even though they met the challenge perfectly scored pretty low. Sometimes we have to be able to look through the challenge description and ask ourselves does this photo stand on it's own...

Yours

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
The lighting is flat and sepia toned. Was this a conscious choice? Greater contrast and multiple light sources would address the flat light. I am in awe of the models' ability to hold perfectly still for 30 seconds or more. But in the end I'm not resonating with the photo. Guess you didn't get lucky w/ me, either.
