I really like the composition with a note below. From my viewpoint I would strengthen the shadows (referrring to your great photos) and introduce some cool skin tones in the lights with that beautiful model in front of you. I would also subdue the blue skirt at the bottom and let it melt into the background somewhat. If you can have a few more soft edges in the scarf it would be helpful I think and make it seem more flowing with motion. The scarf color is overpowering the face somewhat. But I am not a pro, keep that in mind too.


I wonder what it would look like with her left hand touching the top of the frame introducing still another beautiful negative shape.

That really is a great compostion and you have a great start on it my opinion. I love compostions like that with nice lighting. I would love to hire that model . You've got a great one there. Keep it up!
