Thanks. Other than that, do you see anything wrong with the picture or model? Sorry for these questions but I'm just a beginner in photography. Btw, saw some of your pictures. Most of them nice.

Nothing wrong. If it were mine I would bump the contrast just a bit but it certainly is not wrong this way just not mine. Pose, cropping etc look good to me.

If you are a beginner you are well on your way. Very nicely done as is. If my photo I would have lighten just a little, with maybe a tad more contrast. My only nit-pick is the small portion of tattoo. I believe they should be fully shown or fully hid, not just have a small piece that distracts.

Pretty girl, nicely posed. 
I agree.... only suggestion is the fragment of the hand lower left.. a little clone work would remove that easily.

Nice pose and lighting. I think it needs just a touch more contrast along with bringing out the gentle gradations of tone as the light flows over the curves of the model.

Great image. I think the composition of her knees distracts from her beauty. Superb lighting.

What they said, lots of great advice already given. Your image is good to the point where most of the suggestions are minor changes.
For me, a smile would be a game-changer. Not a toothy grin, just a slight turn of her mouth's corners. I like to shoot both looks when I can, with a smile and without. I normally like the smiling shot, better. I think the average viewer interprets a certain vulnerability in a nude image. If the model looks like she doesn't want to be the subject of the photo, most people are a bit put off. As much as you never want to photograph a "why am I here" expression, you'll get them, even when it's not the model's mood.

Very lovely young lady
I waited until I got home to take another look at your image, my laptop just doesn't have a very good monitor.
First thing is the image is just a tad dark and somewhat flat, I would lighten it very little and raise the contrast,
clone out the little bit of the tattoo on her left breast (either show the whole tattoo or none of it last but not least when shooting nudes like this have your model remove all jewelry, its all about her!!!
Keep shooting!!! I would work with this lady for many sessions.
Do you shoot RAW? if so you can make this image really pop in post processing.
You have many good suggestions here I wish I had had some many years ago.

Thanks for your comments. I still have to learn how to shoot RAW. I must admit too that I have very limited photo editing skills. It’s an area I need to learn.
