Soft Curves

Shot with two gridded strip boxes, one to each side of model. Boxes were slight forward of model and pointing towards BG to feather light onto model.

Really like the pose, accentuates your attractive model's curves.
I like that you kept the lighting subtle and left the play of light and shadow intact. Lighting looks perfect to me.
Hard to tell on this monitor so may be wrong...looks like maybe some of the sharpness in the hair was lost. Maybe select that before smoothing the skin. You can get away with a lot of skin smoothing in a shot like this but try retain some sharpness in the hair.

I'd recommend a little less tension on her (supporting) left arm, but nice anyway!

If you want the original curve without the stiff arm you have to switch to "imposes" (tm) - "impossible poses" - the ones that are impossible to hold any longer than a split second or at all; they can only be "caught" in action, like so:
(model: Anais)

Nik, Like that pose and the light.
Alex I think your original pose might look cool taken straight from the back with kind of an egyptian hands pose where the arms are straight over head with the palms together with just a bit of curve in the back....head tilted just slightly back so the hair is loooong. Just an idea, I like both of the shots you posted already.

Great use of lighting to accent natural body lines. Beautiful work.
