I really like it even though I seem to be in the minority. If eliciting a strong response is a benchmark I think you'd have to say this image is a hit.
I don't understand the photographer's preamble here, it's almost an apology for taking and then sharing the photo. I don't think the photograph warrants it, it's both compelling and technically sound. While I enjoy composing nude images that strive to make the model look as desirable as possible I feel there is a definite place for images like this that record the model in situ. Generally speaking I like unique looking models and candid "looking" shots like this.
If you approach every figure study as something you should find arousing, you will immediately discount the worth of images that don't. If this was a photo of an old man sitting shirtless on a bench holding a cigarette we'd be talking about the quality of the image. Instead many of you are saying you don't find this erotic. It's not hard to see that his model and photographer are perfectly capable of producing images that most would enjoy seeing.
If I was going to do any editing here it would be to address the red in the whites of her eyes.

Kind of like a snapshot of a model on break. She sure has cornered the market on freckles.
