My friend wants pictures of her back, in this position to give her hubby as a gift. I told her I wanted to practice before we actually do them. We did this outside at the pool. Tell me what you think. I know one of them I lost her head.
I played around with it in CS.

Just my take, some where between the two but more of the second shot. Personally I would like to see it from a lower angle, possibly with more of the small of the back.
I'm thinking the lighting (or post p) on the second is adding a splotchyness that distracts a little.
Use the location of the first shot (pool in the background) try for some highlights (sparkles) coming off the water. Maybe try some from behind but to the left or right of the model.
Again in my opinion we need to get some dimension in the shot. Probably could use some more curves (body lines) to conjur thoughts in the hubbies head.
For fun try one with a somewhat shallow DOF across her bum but focusing on the back and shoulders area.
Just my thoughts...

| Andy is right. You need to show more of her lower back. Also, if it's for her husband, I feel you could include a bit more of the side of her breast. He'll like that for sure! |

you might wait one hour to get rid of the wrinkles in her back, from her bra :)

I wouldn't shoot her straight on either...angle her a little bit, include more of the small of her back like everyone else said...but possibly even extend it down to where her butt starts so there is more curvature in the picture.
I would use different lighting also...perhaps lighting from the side so its almost a 50/50 lighting that is creating a lot of mystery by hiding half of her body while showing and enhancing the other half.

if you could wait for the sun to be lower, and then place your model so the light "shapes" her back, shows the contours.
I just finished a class in natural lighting - for me it's stand where I used to take the photo, then move around 135 degrees to where I'm almost looking into the light source - and you get that great contouring light.
//democard.com/people/index.htm the first four on the left (two upper row two lower) are shots I took experimenting with this technique. These were shot in my garage, with just the door open and a small bounce.
I find it hard to repeat this lighting outdoors so far, but lots of practice I hope to get more of this shaping look.
FWIW.

I'd also suggest having more of the back. Portrait rather than landscape if it is a top down look. If she is comfortable enough, there's some classic back poses you can try.
The first picture I took of my wife.
This was 3 and a half years ago taken with a Pentax K-1000. I know the photo is pretty average, but something like that is pretty standard. Laying on the side is also generally a very sexy pose.
Moody lighting is pretty important, too, to create sensuality.
But pretty much, the more back you show, the better.
I like the first one best, but would need a lot more back.
