One of the first things that jump out is how powerfully ethereal this is for a human being to be but that isn't a fault of the photographer but just that it is not often that a human being is this gorgeous. The almost uniformly while clothes and background compliment and extend gentle yet powerfully sensual brigthness. I will say you should have added something noticeable in the background for added layering. The picture would have been framed better of more of her mody length wax shown. Another thing I notice is the almost absent bottom of the centerpeice as more of the bed could have been included. The texture of the bed she is laying combined with the layered texture of what she is wearing combined by how her clothes cling non aggressively around every curve is what makes this a proper masterpeice. You can tell the mood of the picture as evident by how her hair is tied up unassumingly leaving the mystery of wether she is doing it to not get in her way of as a conservative style. Along with the haird ironically is how she is not afraid to gaze directly into the camera with a direct yet gently inviting gaze. A suttle indication of how inviting she is is the way she is not afraid to reveal everything that is important, even the way the clothing barely hangs over her shoulders and the way her underwear mould around her butt dissapearing into her butt crack. She does not want to be misunderstood yet she wants even the viewer to be confortable. You knew what the viewer would think viewing this and you worked with the model to ensure this. More than anything this is so radiant that you an see the soul of the model before you see what she wants you to see. There is obviously a world behind her eys. The textures of skin even have a story to tell, please make more of her as it will no doub thave something else to say.
One of the remarkable aspects of your work is your ability to return to the same theme- a very beautiful pose- and bring something different from it every time. The differences are in the nuance and this is where your strength lies, in my opinion. On the one hand this is a common enough pose, on the other it is common precisely because it is so lovely and so essential, and your eye to balance of color and areas of color and white here (predominately ochre and white), leading to the area of the most complex color- the eyes, is great. You and your model breathe life into this photo so gently yet so absolutely. Change a single element and the structure would begin to fall. I like also the stability of the pose in juxtaposition with her look, like you caught her just as she was turning her head. Who is she? What is she thinking? Did the viewer catch her in a reverie or was she expecting to be caught during this fleeting second of transposition? An image that needed great delicacy of handling, and you and your model succeeded beautifully.
