Love the lighting, mood, setup, lovely.

Just one thing, as I often wonder about this pose in particular--do you think lifting the light just a tad on the top would reveal some hair? Or maybe have her lift her head just a bit to reveal a hint of a head or something? I know this pose has been pulled off with no hint of a head, I've seen it, but I always sort of wonder if it really works.

Could just be me!

I'm not feeling the square crop, here. With a vertical crop, the diagonal line and the energy that comes with it is strengthened. In the square crop, the same line is somewhere ambiguously between vertical and diagonal, and loses much of it's energy. Also, the space on either side feels dead.

I'd take quite a bit off the sides, and maybe a little off the bottom as well.

Also, a personal take, having shot quite a bit of stuff with deep black backgrounds I am finding I like slightly more translucent shadows, with the barest hints of "stuff" back there. That's purely a matter of taste, though. Just something to consider, perhaps.

I like it, you sculptured the body very nicely. But I have some questions. The base, the model is sitting on is maybe too big in the sense, that it is cutting the lower part of the frame from the edge to the edge with sharp division of the frame. It doesn't agree with the delicate shapes of the subject and steals attention from it. Another thing are the hands. I suppose that's model's own hands, but they don't look like. In this light they appear to be disproportionally big and rougher than the delicate drawing of the body. Like a man's hands.
