Great: Composition is nearly perfect. I really like your use of phi or perfect proportion. Your use of line is similarly good. The line from her arm, her thigh, her shin, all kinda create a mondrian type painting. Also the lines that are formed by the space between the rocks are good at bringing the viewer's eye to your focal point (the model). I also like your use of color with the green, grey blue, brown, white palette. The brightest color is on the model and accentuates her as well as draws attention to her.
These are all things that are great about the photo if someone takes the time to look at it. Unfortunately this will never happen because you made it look like the model only has one leg and is an amputee. People will either feel sorry for her because she lost her leg, or realize that you took the picture this way and didn't see your error. If it is the last case, then they will dismiss all your photos and brand you an amateur. You are only as strong as your weakest photo!
