I opened the image... That's the first sign there was something that attracted me to it. Of course, the model is gorgeous, but there's also her attitude that builds a lot of the impact. I also like how the rule of thirds works here together with the perfect framing; the model "breathes" without being too wide. The more I look at it, the more sense it makes: the apparently empty area on the left is not empty at all. It stands in balance with the overall composition allowing the subtle hallo on the background to enhance the geometry.
On the other hand, I grow pretty tired of the extensive soft skin editing. I've been there and, at one point, I had to stop: the skin looked almost blurred in my images. So now I choose to apply it in strict moderation, if I do it at all.
The block on which she is seated is a welcome addition. It gives the necessary dose of weight and roughness in an image that otherwise appears weightless and pure. I cannot make out what material is it made of; it just looks strong and heavy. A household object or furniture wouldn't have been so effective.
Bottom line: very good work, nice composition, nice model attitude, nice light, pleasing vintage feel, not so nice softness on the skin (but that's opened for debate and also subject to personal taste).

Palpable softness of the illumination of this image is exquisite and powerful.
