this is such an endearing image that it really does deserve (photographer deserves) plugging in the keyboard for a few moments. First, the way you have constructed the setting is quite excellent: the layers of beach, sea, clouds and clear sky. Especially those clouds. I have to agree that the tracks are a bad thing. I can see how you consider them another horizontal band, something to hold down the foreground but I have to disagree because the tracks do not go all the way across the image and, worse, they are an imperfection on a pristine beach with a faultless young woman.
Would you also have considered extending the image to the right a little so as to include the whole shadow? It might have made the image complete and more restful.
OK those are very minor points but I have one big criticism: her arm! This image is about her, the innocent joy on a warm beach and just playing with that piece of silk. (I do not want to know if it was polyester). Like all good nudes, which this really is, it is about something in the spirit of the person, in us, it is - well, intimate. And yet her arm obscures her face. If she is shy and wishes not to be recognised, allow her hair to be blown by the wind/ It would make all the difference between us just watching her and being there with her. It would set this image alight, I am sure it would. I can see you might have had a technical consideration and needed a fairly static pose because you wanted really deep focus but maybe let her dance a little, turn around. All easier said than done.
If I had made this photo, I would be so pleased about it.

Hi 
- I couldn't extend photo to right, right it's a pity whole shadow would make photo better
- as we took this picture there was -3 Celsius and wind - so the model is really dancing with the scarf - you can see it on her left leg, we had 5-7 minutes for shooting
- the arm and face - it's matter of taste - in this posistion her body is very long and dynamic and - if she spells - it's good position to collect Mana
Great comment, thank you

thanks for a lovely image ... and understanding the dedication of the model makes me envy your achievement even more. When people make comments we always imagine it was on some warm summer day in South of France and everything is perfect.

now she really has my respect - as someone who lives by the Baltic myself

So her left foot is in motion – I’m surprised the cloth is motionless but her foot is blurred – however, that is a very minor critique. I would have cropped out the tire tracks in the right lower foreground as just a distraction. The pose is wonderful with the implied motion from the wind, and the image contrast is deep and impactful. I think this is a strong photograph and I like it very much!
