Jeanine,
I viewed the photo reference after viewing your underpainting and here are my observations:
Check the anatomy of her arms. The right arm seems to need to be more foreshortened than it is. Also, seems a bit too large at the top in proportion to her upper torso. Her torso seems a bit too wide as well. Easy to fix, right?
Her left arm also seems not quite right as far as measurement from the top of her shoulder to her elbow. Too short.
I think the reference photo is a wonderful pose.
Please realize that I am just trying to help with this observation. I would hate for you to get totally finished and realize the anatomy is slightly off! I can work for a week on a painting and not see something as simple as this for myself either! It takes some distance and time to see small mistakes.
Good luck on a beautiful painting!
