This image is horrible:

Why?  Left arm amputated, right arm just hanging there, bust line is more brightly illuminated than face, and the whole image is awkward.

But just one worthless opinion.

Kelly, you have so many images where you look fantastic... where lighting, composition, and flattering poses/expressions  accentuate your figure and face.

But this image does not present you in a good way. The position of arms relative to the camera, i.e. pointing forward towards the lens, makes your arms appear short and chunky. The lighting and/or white balance, while interesting in and of itself, is a negative for your skin tone. Your body position, nearly square to the lens, is not ideal, i.e. a greater angle would be more flattering to your figure. IMO the crop high on your waist is not working, nor is your expression. If you are looking for images to cull, which is a great idea, I think this is one that should go.

I agree that this one is not doing anything for you, the unusual coloring bothers me and your expression looks forced.  You have many excellent shots but that isn't one of them in my opinion.
