Its a low key image and it says so with the dark moody look, but I understand what people are saying I would personally lift it with just a touch of fill light, not too much or you will kill the mood. :judge: :judge: :judge: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Your model on the couch does not look relaxed to me.
I hope you took several shots in this position.
You may have one that shows this idea a little better.

Shots like this are very difficult. First I would have added much more separation between the couch and the wall. This would help with the hot spot on the wall just above her head. My eyes keep going there even though there is a beautiful model laying this couch.
A light above the subject but kept off the couch would do wonders for a bit of separation which I think is very important here. Perhaps some dodge and burn to bring out some highlights in the hair because that is all but lost against the couch.
The crop is either too tight or two wide. The Painting is cut off and distracting and the wall or floor is showing past the couch in the bottom right corner.
A shot like this is all about precision and control of your lighting. Thanks for sharing!

Great shots, in the 2nd shot my eyes went to the girl than the lawn chair, a little distracting... also an easy fix

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.
