Taking A Closer Look
As we walk around whether in the neighborhood or on vacations our eyes are attracted to something and we choose to either ignore it or pick it up and carry it around before discarding.

... all in camera ...
This image from the late 1980s, predates all digital editing and what is captured, is exactly what was seen in viewfinder - there was no postproduction editing.

Model testing
This image was done in late 1980s on Polaroid's instant slide film Polapan - a prefect film for beauty and boudoir photography as skin tones were rendered silky.

Hi there, thanks for posting! At first glance to me it looks like the subject of this picture is the flowers, and the model is a convenient holder for the flowers rather than the focus of the image. I think your lighting looks decent, but it seems that there is some very heavy handed retouching done to her skin - I can't tell if it's inverted high pass or some other use of the blur tool - but maybe reduce that down by about 80%. Work on dodging and burning and careful manual cloning/healing on the skin instead, this will improve the quality of your retouching by a lot. I hope this helps!
I really appreciate your feedback. Thanks for the same
