Ok, you asked for it. Great model and pose--very demure-- and her outfit goes great with her skin tone. And you captured the mood really well. But, I think your main flash is set for the right exposure, but is too low, so it casts harsh shadows especially those that cut into her waist on c.l., and creates glare (blown highlights) on her face, especially that hot spot on her nose. If you moved it up to the 45 degree position, it would also put more light on her hair, which, because it is underexposed, lacks detail and texture. Also, that out-of-focus black thing on c.r. is distracting and cuts across that otherwise beautiful curve of her bottom; even with "candid" photos, the background and foreground should be identifiable and relevant. As for the really picky stuff, I'd remove that thread and shadow on her right thigh, which adds nothing, and unless she really likes them, I would also remove the 4 brown spots that run diagonally across her belly.
With this photo, you could open the exposure on her hair in LR or PS, easily remove the small stuff in PS. But that black thing is there to stay.

Really appreciate your technical advice. Thank you. Editing is another thing I need to learn…. Mackie
