Is there any merit in this image beyond the merging of two files?

As far as I'm concerned, not much, I'm afraid… That being said, don't stop experimenting.

I'm afraid my first thought was she had a potentially interesting skin disease. It doesn't do anything for me. Sorry.

Let's face it, it's not a particularly attractive torso, and the wood behind the torso doesn't do anything for it. Needs a re-shoot, but more importantly needs a re-think.

No need to apologise, folks. I'm not happy with the image myself, which is why I put it up for critiquing.

The "skin disease" is my attempt to make it look as if she is part of the tree and emerging/revealing herself.

I now think that, as a nude-in-a-landscape image, my pic fails at a basic level because there is not enough landscape and the ratio between the two elements is vastly overweighted in favour of the nude.

Anyone having success in the nude-in-a-landscape area?
