Format & Layout:
Beginning with an excellent layout, this piece has the model slightly right of center and set two thirds into the foreground for ample presence. The horizon / perspective albeit enclosed, provides enough air space.

Background:
The classic architecture backdrop in itself displays a harmony of elements like a proper balance of stone to wood, smooth surfaces and detailed items, flat planes and sculpted forms. The visual language has already set the vernacular of this piece.

Subject:
Our model quite elegantly stands strong, upright, full figured and feminine in every way - a poised yet powerful stance. Her weight is well balanced solidly standing with a partial assist from the wall. The bustier and skirt wraps her figure and is seen as a beautifully flared solid form. Her arms and neck line extend and branching out from her with sharp, statuesque edges. Her face expresses a calm confident beauty. The solid color, silky sheen skirt with flair, bellows and edge hem detail add to the solidity of the pose with highlight accents and are a transition of detail down to the strappy shoes, whereas the bustier top ascends to the bust with a blossom of detail keeping the attention right there. The clothing style are not consistent with the architecture, but the more traditional positioning and proportioning liken the subject in a classical statue state which works

Color Palette:
The color palette here is far from benign yet not wild. It's kept within a select group of natural colors. Colors of rich elements: gold, cherried wood, marbled stone, slate, pale skin, bronzed clothing and hair color.

Overall Impact:
Stupendous piece - this could and most likely should be framed by someone - large format with a wide weathered built up wooden frame and 3 step matting.

Thank you for requesting the critique,

What stands out to me is the rich elegance of the color palette. I like the wood grain, the stonework, and how the whole piece has a consistent luxury quality feel. I find it interesting how the various tints of the stone are similar to those present in the model's skin. I know she's not a statue but she seems to fit the setting well with her classic beauty, or should that be the other way 'round? The blur of the mermaid dress is a nice touch of action differentiating this from a standard still life/model study. Classy with a hint of decadence. More please...

Shermerberger's critique is much more in-depth than I could offer. I was struck by your beauty and the pose. The background fits in perfectly. The corset looks painful. :)
