Your model looks a bit like cameron diaz. For me the lighting here is unfavorable. The lighting on her face is too harsh creating shiny sweat spots, while the rest of her body falls into what appears to be unintentional shadow.

this is really well done. I know the point was to show the sun on her face ...and using her body in shadow is reinforcing the use of light...i think i would prefer imo cropping off the body and keeping the hand and head.

the light drops off to dramatically from her face.

Hmmm, I wouldn't consider an azalea bush to be all that comfortable :)

Lovely lighting and nice colors. Her hair over her throat and in shadow kind of creates the illusion of a disembodied head, and her positioning does make this feel very unnatural to me- as if she's sitting next to the bush and leaning way back into it. The arm position also feels awkward to me. I might have tried several different positions to see if one yielded a more pleasing and enjoyable looking result.

I like her, pretty gal, the shot is really clear, clean. The light fits the challenge. I only dislike the pose. It seem a little awkward to me. Just my little 2 cents. You have an awesome lens there.

Her dress distracts. I think a solid darker color (to coordinate with the shadows her body is in) would be more appealing and would earn a higher score. Also there is a slight glare off of her face that distracts from her beauty.

Otherwise nice composition.

her face seems almost "too" bright, especially compared to the darkness of her body.
maybe if this was cropped without the body and you just had the head in the bottom left corner?
