I must say I am abit amazed that this picture got a DD. 

Some critisism. 

The arm is cropped at the finger and along the arm/below her hand. More space to the right would have been good, and to include the arm and hand in full would probably made the image better. The tree knob in the pictures front is nearly as large as the models head, and since it's also not in focus it distracts.  The people in the background are maybe supposed to be there, but they could be seen as a distraction. And at last the burned out collarbone that matches in lightness the sea/sky in the background make the image shallower.

However, the light between modes back and the tree trunk is good.

Your criticism is certainly valid, but did you note that while you're criticizing the photographer, you're speaking to the model?

Thanks for answering. 

Well, I didn't think of that. However, the DD is on your page so therefore it's kind of there where it would be visible. Does the photographer have the same image in his portfolio?

I'm unsure whether he posted it here on DA, but I know it's on his Facebook page.

Ah. I see. Well I don't have Facebook so this will have to do.
