Okay, you hit on something with this one.....most definitely....
Great capture of the hair. The eyes are still looking too much at you but not so bad as to be distracting.
The pose is superb for her. You've softened her shoulders at this angle. Allowed her arms to look natural. Taken advantage of her slender form, placed the skirt in a way so as to fall loosely and naturally and maintain a smooth uniform curve; while having the waistline slip downward slightly creating a very sensual but delicate feel.
This shot has almost a 'feline' quality in it's beauty with the sensual arching and delicate curvature. Very very nice job.
There are a few elements that do hurt the photo. But these are minor. The background is somewhat distracting. A building can be seen and the trees just aren't blurred quite a enough. It might worth your while to use photoshop to blurr the background just a little bit more. The wood rail in the forground is blown out and becomes a bit distracting. Maybe some dodge/burn, etc. can help lesson it's effect.
I still think the model needs to smile, and that a nice smile could make this shot spectacular. Already it's a superb shot of a beautiful model. And quite capable of making the blood boil a bit, and although it exhudes a strong sensual feel, it maintains a nubile innoncence which is very nice.
Great job!
This is a shot for her portfolio....
Now, I suggest you do the following - take this pose and re-shoot it in several different settings. This is really a great pose for her body's shape and form. Re-shoot in different settings. Say a on a rock at a beach. In an alley. And in different colors....
