Thanks for posting. I don't know if the poster wants any critique, but I am afraid this composition has me confused. I can't help wonder what it "means" to the photographer or anyone else. I first thought it was a snake wrapped around her, then turned my head to the side to see if it was supposed to be viewed horizontally. The right arm looks disturbingly distorted.
Not to be argumentative, but is it really a negative that a photo is a bit confusing at first glance? I see your point, but both you and I and anyone else with two arms could figure the pose out in a few seconds. The scarf masks a portion of the figure, adds a bit texture, and gives the hands something to do. What struck me was the warm of the palette and the accentuation of the model's curves.
