In all your children's photos, I find you are clearly one of the most skilled I've had the pleasure of reviewing. Darn it! Drop whatever else you're doing and stick to children's photos! -

What can I say! I'm a photographer and a pilot. This is marvelous!
One day, I too will have as much patience, and control ... as photographer AND pilot!
Kudos!

Beautiful composition ... wonderful artwork.

Pedro, I ordinarily don't respond to comments. But I do in this case because I simply felt you are on to something, and I urge you to calmly consider what I am saying.
You have all the basics in place ... the wistful glance of the model ... her stance ... the angle of film plane incidence as referenced to the body.
With no other changes to your work, I simply suggest you re-consider the earlier comments I made especially concerning the light drop-off.
Equal highlights on both sides of the human body does not convey naturalness ... the theme of your work. Equal lighting suggests studio work. My reference theory for this comment is the effect of sunlight *alone* falling on a model. Sunlight would not "scallop" the subject like the sources of light in the existing image. Indeed, my comments were in regard of *your* stated theme of naturalness.
Shoot again. I'm confident that--with the very minor alterations to your otherwise fine work I am suggesting--your work will be a real winner ... or shall I say, artwork.

For you model photographers out there ... a difference exists between nudity and nakedness.
This is simply a photo of a naked woman that the photographer thought would improve with the inclusion of a brown mottled backdrop ... it didn't
For starters, unless you're trying to emphasise something about the background (and I don't see what), center-up the model in the frame.
Secondly, the fill lights were not properly applied.
A nude should always suggest or elicit sober, cogent thought or wonder. A nude is art.
A naked shot simply says "Hey! Will 'ya look at those tits!

You're on your toes, Phil -
O.K. What's with the flat lighting? Head on down to the local hardware or arts and crafts store and pick up some fomecore or other white reflective material, and let's get some sidelighting in there.
Your "deer-lighting" excessively lights whatever contraption the model is in, and distracts and detracts fom her beauty.

OK. Just break up the monotony by adding a deep-red lipstick. And straighten out the wrinkles on the dress just a tad to accentuate and emphasize the shape.
Understanding the suggestive psychology of the female image is critical during composition, which is lips, breasts, and derriere ... not necessarily in that order.
Other than that, I like it.

Next time, shout instructions to the groom to smack his wife on the rear, rather than hold her waist.
Trust me, it works.

Yeah ... ditch the hat
Offset the chair more to her left
Increase the light-falloff by one stop to accentuate cleavage
The wistful gaze is nice, as is the inward bending of the left leg.

Yes, I agree ... the right model eye is much too dark. Oftentimes, photographers spend precious little time on model appearance.
And while we're on the issue of model appearance, let's do something about those terrible short, unpainted fingernails.
The finger itself needs a gentle inward curl so as to remove some of the lines ... it'll help differentiate the feminine finger from a man's finger ... unless, of course, that's what the artist wanted(?!?)
I rate it as 8.5 to 9.0
