Single Light Shoot

I've been practicing a lot with my strobe light. For this shot, I was using a Dynalite Baja B4 with a Bowens 21inch beauty dish. I've since bought a Fashpoint Rovelight 600 to get a little more power (and they're fairly priced). I really like Arthur St. John's style of shooting and I'm trying to get something similar to his photos. I know he has a lot of post processing in his shots, which I have yet to figure out, but getting my lighting better is my main focus at this point. Shot on a Canon 5D Mk II and Canon 24-105 f4 L series lens. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Good shot in general. Cute model.
A few suggestions for improvement:
-model hair is disappeared into the bg, those houses could be a tad brighter so there's some separation between the model hair and bg.
-her left hand got cut off, maybe have her left hand placed on the edge of the pool.
-the details on her black bra is not showing, maybe have separate light to lid up the bra details.
that's all. Good luck and have fun on your next shoot.

Needs Work!

I see these comments on many photos - BTW - those who are putting comments like "Needs Work" should elaborate to say what is needed according to them.
