Ooooh, lovely Matteo. I think the light here is really fantastic, as is the setting. Very beautiful shot, lovely model and pose.
Great job

Hello Matteo,

I must admit that I have some difficulties to decide whether I think this is a "good" or a "great" photo.

What I think is great:
- the pose of your model,
- the point of view,
- composition,
- the setting.

What I think I like less:
- the light, due to the use of the flash. My impression is that the flash created two totally different "light atmospheres" in your photo, that do not really fit together. As if you had taken the shot of your model indoors and then pasted a natural setting behind it. In other words: there is a "disconnection" between fore- and background.

Of course, I don't know what the natural light circumstances were. Maybe you had to use the flash, in order to prevent your model's face from being too dark. Was it impossible to take this photo by using the available light?

I hope I have not been too severe. Anyway, I think this is a "good" photo and you should know that this is only my personal opinion. So, feel free to (dis)agree ;o).

TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Matteo,
The composition and setting are good. I'm not so sure about the strong flash light on the model and the boat. Maybe the white surface of the boat reflected too much light to the model.
You should post the other photos of this photo session.
Ciao,
Wellington
