Excellent point. Knew there was something about the pose I didn't like but couldn't put my finger on it. The legs get me too but I can't figure out what I could have done instead.
Pose is definitely the stand out here. Too much twisting. You have her head and left arm twisting forward with her right leg and torso twisting backwards. Sometimes hard poses can work but for her I don't think its right for the image.
(referring to the models left and right in the following)
If you want her to look at the camera don't try to bring the left arm forward. Leave it relaxed drop the right shoulder and raise the left. With the legs i would extend the right leg and bend the left as it seems more natural with the stairs.
These are what I would try changing for next time.
Lighting is soft and flattering. For my style I would post process more and enhance the shadows on her to shape her more. Also color grade to to create a color contrast between here and the backdrop.
I think its fairly nicely framed though and is going in the right direction.
All her weight is on her back arm making her flex, I think it would have been better to let her rest on the wall and then bring both legs onto the same step as her and extend the front leg, cross the left leg over the top and rest the hand on top of the knee. I think the main problem is the pose diminishes her curves instead of accentuates them. I do like the framing and the direction this is going.
She looks quite awkward with the pose she is in. Head seems too twisted. Maybe have her looking away to camera right?

Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the tips. I will definitely keep that in mind next time.

Great points. I've got a few things to work on for sure =)
New model, different location, better lighting... Shoes are on point doh...
