You did a great job on the lighting, but I get the distinct impression that this is one of those scenarios where less is more. I'd love to see this zoomed WAY in to catch just the tattoo, breast, right arm, and a hint of the butt (not all of it).
The placement of her left hand is good, but her right hand is far enough back to really accentuate how wide her hips are. The thighs if left in could use quite a bit of smoothing, even if this gets put in a "full figure" storyline. I commend you for taking this project on, and for sharing it with us. I don't know that I'd be eager to shoot nudes for a subject this size, given the obstacles and expectations regarding the model.
Hispanic women always have such beautiful curves. I love that there are still photographers not driven to only shoot "skeletor" sized models but also a more natural beauty. Both are lovely but so many conform to the idea that true beauty is an Angelinaesque body...I wish more would showcase women who don't starve themselves to look a certain way and classify the ones who don't as "full figure." I'm ranting I think...I really like the soft lighting and agree with jetrim that you did really well at accentuating her curves. Another lovely shoot!

I like how you put your logo right on her best part. What bothers me is that it looks like her head was spun exorcist style, not sure if it's the way her hair is brushed or the fact you can't see her neck. Maybe over the ear with some bangs coming down would have been better?
