Nice shot. Funny, the one thing I don't like is the hair (sorry, looks to me like a bad perm).
I'm sure a lot of delicate contrast is lost in posting this on the web, but one thing I would do to make this a more powerful shot would be to have just a tad more brightness in the bg behind your model on her right side, leaving a nice silhouette line.
On my monitor, her right arm blends into the tone of the bg, and has little definition.
Also, I think the composition would be stronger if the shot was a bit more of a profile...

I like the fall of the shadow across the small of the back, the heavy side light helps bring out the curves very nicely. I agree with Steve about the profile and lighter BG on the right. Very nice shot.
