Most of the posts responding to this painting seem to agree that the pose has potential but the source photograph is too flawed to use as a reference. I would suggest these are very talented artists responding and that you should return to your client for more studies, more photographs.

I've found that as a beginner I'm in such a rush to get to the canvas that I sacrifice the foundation of the work: tonal studies, thumbnails exploring light, etc. I'm starting to see why it takes so long to paint a piece in oil on canvas!!
