I have seen shots like this before and you make it pop. I like the pose, choice of cloth to cover with and your hair. It all makes for an extremely visually striking shot. I also truly love a shot that shows a hint of nudity but doesn’t not actually show anything. (Implied) That makes this even better but than again it would be hard to show your art work any other way.
Now the bad. Sorry but I always follow the good with what I see not so good. The thing that jumps out and bites me is it looks like you were covered with a light bit of oil to make your tattoos stand out. I do the same when I am trying to do that. The light that was behind you to your left was just a bit to strong making for a bit of a shine on you. I understand while shooting it is not easy to spot something like that also. I assume he was using a soft box, umbrella or some other device to soften the lights but just change the angle of the light just a bit and it will be gone.
OK I do hope I didn’t come off in a bad way as I truly do love the shot. When I see someone request a critique I take the time to look closely at the picture as if it was one of my own. (And I tear up my own work, it sucks lol.)
I would rate it as a whole as 4 ½ stars it is an excellent piece of work.
