It seems she should be glancing back at the camera, like you caught her in a moment and she just noticed you. It would be less posed and her lovely eyes would be highlighted. The other thing you might want to fool around with is a blurring trick like a soft focus lens, vaseline on a UV filter, or nylon stocking over the lens, to soften the harsh edges a bit. A slightly more golden tone to warm it up would also be nice, it seems a bit cool. I like the red curtain ground, the lighting angles and general pose, and the black frame works well too.
