Hello and welcome to dPS. Per the http://digital-photography-school.co...rum-rules.html, is there something specific that you would like critique on? Asking specifically for critique affords members a starting point and also aids in your learning of photography in such that it allows you to start to really see your image. Additionally, can you post the EXIF for the photo.

Since I'm not sure exactly what your after, I took the liberty of editing it myself. All I did was to open the image in GIMP (a free share-ware photo editing program). I then applied an "Auto White balance adjustment to remove the haze from your shot. A polarizing filter may have removed the haze in camera, but it's a simple fix afterwards. That's the only adjustment I made. Your model is lovely and the image appears to be very well taken.
If you would rather not have my edit included in your thread, just say so and I'll remove it.

huh. i didn't see it as haze, i saw it as a "vintage" effect done in post....

If you were going for the "Vintage" look, then I apologize for posting my edit. As for my opinion.....I would prefer to think this lovely lady is here in the present as apposed to 30 years ago.

I agree with the edited version. the "vintage" processing with olive toned skin really doesn't work for me as it makes the white balance way off, in my opinion. I would also like to see the colors brighter a bit. The pose is nice for a model shot although I would also like to see either more of the model's limbs or a closer head and shoulders shot. Seems sort of "cut off" with the arms.

The post processing on the original does not compliment her coloring much. I also like the more vivid on this model.

The cutting of limbs is distracting
