Very nicely done, tasteful presentaton of the female body. I would prefer some background versus removing all of it.

I have gone over to the dark side, no more film.

Exposure is very consistant, good considering the large number of lights used. This shot breaks some rules composition wise and unless you had a specific reason for doing so, I'm not sure it's such a good thing. I'm having particular trouble with placement of the left leg, angle of the left hand (bent backward) and the overall tense linear lines (even without seeing a facial expression, she looks quite uncomfortable). Could use some additional skin work at the left elbow, right hip and right knee. The square crop works well though...
Not sure I like this, to be honest.. her pose seems a bit awkward, and with her back to us it seems impersonal. Alas, it is pretty neat how you got the entire area around her so white even though it does seem stark. One thing to remember though - any time you shoot a model against a plain background (and in this case, very plain background), she or he becomes even more important, to include pose, hair, makeup, attractiveness, and so on.
Anyway - welcome again.

Welcome. I actually rather like the pose because of the tension it represents.
I'm usually not much on high key,(if that's what this is), but think the white bg works to make the tension of the pose stand out.
I did notice the right knee and that splotch of lighter skin that jetrim mentions.
A couple of months ago, I had my first nude photoshoot, and I did indeed take an extremely similar photo... for me though it was the left leg... I didn't ask for the post, she did it on her... If the model here is a dancer (like mine was) this should not at all be comfortable...
to nitpick:
1- the photo "feels" tilted... might be a perspective illusion, but it feels off towards the right...
2- The barely visible shadows, or alternatively, the overwhelming white!
3- Had she been looking to the right, I think the pose would have registered better...
Anyway, hope this helps! and Welcome to the forum!
