It'd be interesting to know what you like about this one specifically, I'm not sure you'd asked for a critique so it probably wouldnt be good form to offer one, but, as i say, what's promppted you to post this one for us to view?

The model looks too washed out because the lighting is too bright I think. Sorry

Just lacks impact to be honest. The lighting is fairly basic and the skin tone is strange.
i love faces and images that make me want to see more.

I feel you deserve a more in-depth reply than you have had so far.
You have used the diagonal for the composition and I think it has worked better than most such pictures.
The skin is very pale, and the lighting is very frontal. I don't know if you intentionally over-exposed looking for a high-key effect, but it hasn't really worked for me. I'd have looked for a softer shadow from diffused lighting and tried to get some shadow coming under the breasts to bring out their shape. The softer illumination would have made the shadows behing the model less distracting as they would have been less obvious.
I'm also a bit concerned about what those fingers are doing at all those odd angles to each other.
It is interesting, it is certainly tring to do something different from a standard glamour shot, and I'd say it is good to experiment. In my eyes it just isn't quite there yet but all the more reason to keep trying.

I am in the 'like it' camp.
Not sure if everyone else has a calibrated monitor or not, but i can clearly see slight shadowing under her left breast and to the left of her right breast. Ok, it may not be in your face but its still there to define them. I can even make out her stomach muscles and see some ribs too.
I like the high key effect and how bright and clean it all looks.
I think i may have prefered eye contact though.

Thanks for the comments so far.
I don't get feedback on my photography much, so it's good to hear what people think.

Here's the unprocessed RAW shot before I played with it, just for reference.
