I don't have PS on this computer...but could you crop it tighter to cut out the edge of her arm, and still keep the flowers?

its not what you dont see its what you do see that will make it look more true to form.
i also retouched her face and chest. I tried to get the shadows lighten up and i worked to get the red out of her eyes.

hope that works for ya.
less then an hour charge. but i dont do less then an hour. ehehhe

You might try to lighten up her left shoulder and then clone her hair to cover the shadows on her left torso.

from the light on her head i think that light on her shoulder matches and the shadow down farther on the the arm matches well too.

Adam, I emailed the final back to you. I sent you a 1:1 300dpi version but here is the low res version. Hope it works for you.
