I think you did an excellent job on lighting and the positioning of the model in the photo. If you think about doing another shoot, I would add a small light focusing on the back of her head to help separate the color of her hair and the background. The light would put a nice shine to her hair and give it a little more definition. The model has a look on her face like, " Do I really have to take another picture?" lol. On this shot I would also concentrate on the eyes and give them a little more sharpness. On portraits like this I love the clarity and being able to see a star burst in the eyes. I also see a slight blotchyness to the skin. This may be done from filters or underexposure on the original photo. This is something I fight a lot too when taking photos and desaturating them.
These are all minor things and I am only making some very detailed critiques. I still think you have a nice photo hear. If I would have to choose one thing though, I would say next time see if you can get her to give a more "seductive" look.
