passion

ok now that i have more experience i want to recreate a photo i took

a few years ago any ideas or thoughts on how to improve this

You ask "how to improve this?", and the first answer that comes to me is "by improving the lighting". There's no "volume" in this photo, it looks kinda flat. I do believe that the proper lighting would donate "depth" to this picture, underlining the shapes and curves of the body, and making it more "tri-dimensional". I apologize for my English, it's not my first language, so it's likely that my choice of words isn't the best possible one. :-)
After that, I'd try and have her face slightly more visible. Just a little bit. Here it seems a "unfaced" body, there's no hint about her expression, which IMHO would be important in order to show the "Passion" you allude to in the title.
This is what comes to my mind. I'd wait for more experienced photographers to give their ideas though. I'm not a practitioner of this genre. :-)
Hope it may help.
