Debejyo,

Catrina is a beautiful girl with a very nice figure. Her skin tone is very good. The contrast and color saturation is good. She has excellent eye contact with the camera (viewer) and a nice expression. Actually, I find it rather sensual. 

Be careful of your focus. Her eyes are not in critical focus.

You have very nice Rembrandt lighting, but there is a shadow in her left eye. Therefore, she only has a catch light in her right eye. She needs a catch light in both eyes to give them life.

Her eyes need to stand out more. Mascara on her lower eyelashes and a little eyeliner under her eyes would help.  She has lovely pale skin and needs well applied make-up to accentuate her face. If you are going to show her hands make sure her manicure shows off her fingernails.

Your muslin backdrop is a mess. It has wrinkles in front of her and behind her. The viewer's eyes will go to the wrinkles instead of Catrina. Muslin works well as a background when it is far behind the subject and out of focus. It is difficult to work with when in focus. Seamless paper works well as a background for studio shots.

All sides are cropped too closely to Catrina. 

This pose is a little awkward. You do not want her right hand pointing toward the camera. Bring it in closer to her body. That way you can crop some off the bottom so that her body is placed lower in the frame. This would give you better top and bottom compositional balance. Right now she is too high in the frame.

Her right shoulder looks awkward and stiff. She may be putting too much weight on her right elbow. She is lying on her blouse -- pinning it to the floor. With her right breast pulling on her blouse, it is creating wrinkles across her stomach. This doesn't look very good. 

I assume she has her left leg bent that much so that she can place her shoe flat on the floor. This doesn't look like a very natural position for her leg. It might be more comfortable for her to be barefoot. She could then place her leg in a more natural position. If she would stretch her left leg out a little farther her pose would look more feminine and graceful.

You are shooting down on Catrina. Lower your camera position to her level. 

Your name is not part of the photograph. It would be quite proper to place it on a mat.

Nice shot,

Mark
