Single 24" octabox with grid from camera right. 1/16 power. No crop, no resize, straight out of camera. Looking back would have liked to clone some of the stray hairs out but this is min editing.

A lovely studio shot of a beautiful lady with perfect colours for the challenge brief. The lighting is good bringing out all the detail well, her pose is good with her weight distribution making a nice shape to her bum. I’m gonna be really pedantic here because that’s what I’m here for! Three minor improvements I would make, yes as you and your commenter have observed, the lack of hair would have made for a simpler more effective image. Secondly, a little more symmetry by placing the left arm in the corner the same as the right and cropping just a little lower so that there is no flesh above the top of the corset. And finally, yes I know its pedantic but it does matter, that twist in the top of her knickers by her right hand is just a tad annoying.
Well looking back at this the score distribution is all over the chart. A total of 6 people gave me 1s and 2s. But on the other end of the spectrum 11 8's. What a weird score distribution. Overall I would have liked this to have done better but what can I say, it is what it is.
Can't really understand the scoring here, but o well.
Someone mentioned they would like to see the hair removed, I agree, this would actually make for a better image.
