I'm also not a FB devotee, but I really like this image from your portfolio.

I love the hi-key, limited pallet of color, but especially the use of the baby blue
as a unifying element.

I love the pose, it's very flattering to the model and keep it looking classy and elegant.  I also like that you caught the wave at the right time where it's just brushing over her.  In terms of lighting, it's flattering on her body however he face isn't lit the best.  The shadows under on her upper cheek and around her nose/lip area don't look appealing.  You could either use a reflector to shine a little like on her to get some highlights on the cheek or, since you already took the image, you could cheat a bit and do some dodging and burning in post to remove those shadows.

I do wish there was a little post work in terms of mood and color, I also feel like it need to have the exposure up just a little bit and a little more contrast or a vingette.  The image is very brown and dull so it's not that flattering.  I did a really quick retouch to show you what I'm talking about
