Great "candid" portrait, as much as you can with a 5x7 camera! She looks much like Charis Weston, especially in that pose.

What I really like on this one is she looks really naturaly and totaly relaxed and this makes it to a real keeper!
 
The image is nice, but - - I'm a little bothered by the casualness of the pose. The background is cluttered - fine for a candid picture, but distracting when contrasted with the studied nature of the pose that the detail that accompanies LF work.
 
I like the candidness, if that's a word. "Nudes in nature" kind of pictures usually feel sterile and contrived to me. I wonder, "why is that oiled-up woman draped over that boulder in the desert? Is she injured?"

This looks like a person, an individual, in a place that I recognize, and I like that.
