The colored pillows jump out at me, and not in a good way. I think keeping things in the brown tones that predominate the upper half of the photo would have provided better framing of the model.
Perhaps you can try recolouring them with software.
nice. love the pose and the model

Very nice portrait. Your beautiful model appears relaxed and totally at ease. IMHO, "fixing" the distractions would only make the image less natural and more staged, if that makes sense?
I like it just the way it is. No pretense, no forced smile
Nice job!

Nicely lit subject. And nice framing and she has a nice expression, and a lovely natural and relaxed pose.
I agree with one other comment above about the cushions though. I think if they were white, same as the couch's overthrow, it would be a lot better, or just remove them all together before taking the photo, because the green and yellow cushions add too much colour variation and make it all a bit too 'busy' for my liking. And of course, the blue bit in the bottom-left corner could be very easily and convincingly removed in PP in a second, such as by using Photoshop's Content Aware tool.
I don't mind the background, the DoF is good and the window is quite okay IMHO, but I would have moved that chair out of the frame - note how her arm and the chair 'collide'. ""fixing" the distractions" as 'PaulW128' wrote.
Good work though.

There is an area of redness on her left cheek. Very minor touch-up will correct the problem. What would she look like in B&W?

Looks to me like a little bit of acne, which is common among young asian people. It is there, so if it were my photo I would leave it there. It's 'the real her'.
Well, okay, if the purpose of the photo was for a glamour magazine or some other commercial purpose, or something, a different story.

It could be caused by several things but the OP asked for comments on what is. Young women are aware of their features and any kind of discoloration is very noticeable. Her pose is not for his eyes only and I find no reason to leave it. Doubt she would find "the real her" very complimentary.

The model is beautiful, looking very serene and at ease, to me, it feels like she enjoys being naked. You captured the look exceedingly well, Mackie. The lighting is very good, and the pose is excellent.
Though the cushions are a slight distraction, I feel the chair behind her arm is the most distracting.
Other than that, I would very much like to see more of this shoot.
Lovely lady; nicely posed. Small, firm breasts are more alluring to me than great, pendulous jugs.
