Beautiful. I'd pull back on your skin smoothing by about 50%, it's looking a bit overdone. I'd also consider making sure the face and the rest of her body are closer in color and saturation levels - her face is more yellow, her shoulders and chest are more red (and more saturated), and there's a bit of a desaturated / slightly gray patch on her neck.
Your model is lovely; something to think about for your next shoot is to ask the model to take a nice deep breath in and let it out, and roll their shoulders a bit to get them to relax down. Her shoulders are hunched up slightly, which is shortening the length of her neck and making her look a little tense.
Overall it's a great photo of a beautiful lady. Well done
I'm no portraitist, Sennia, but I'm always interested in your detailed, specific and obviously knowledgeable CC. Perhaps particularly because I'm a perfectionist myself! And I can see what you point out, if I haven't noticed it myself already.
Just thought you deserved some feedback on your feedback!
OMG! Sennia Kyle , thank you for the detailed feedback. When I was retouching this image I felt like something is off and I couldn't figure it out but now after your comment I am noticing a lot of stuff that I have missed especially about the shoulders. I will definitely use the deep breath technique. Thank you. :)

You're very welcome! I'm glad it helped!
Hi Sennia. I appreciate your clarity of "Why" + "What" followed by "How". cheers.
Beautiful model, nice image. Previous comment covered more than I had seen.
