Greetings from the Critique Club:
I think this may be the same model from your recent Librodo entry so you already know I'm a fan and of course she looks lovely here. This images doesn't have the power your 'Woman' image though and doesn't seem to be finished to the same standard. I can see how the shelf is horizontal but your POV has introduced some geometric distortion of the frame which does detract from the image.
Personally, I do like the bright light and feel it could have been emphasised even more. I'm not a fan of your crop though - your model is too good to make her this small on the screen to include some cushions...!
The critical question for this image is whether it fits the 'Fine Art' genre - for me, I'm not sure it did; it may have been effective within a wider Free Study brief but for me lacks the imagination that underpins much of the Fine Art work.
However, there's no denying that this is an effective image in a less loaded context.
