Pretty good. As pretty as she is, I'd put a fill card or a 2ft x 3 ft white cardboard about three feet from her so that a tad of fill light would be bounced to the shadow area. Just a bit so that
you might see some features. All in all........it's a good start to improve from.

Adding to what Jim suggested, I turn the main light up a notch to bring out her eyes and maybe a hair/separation light. She looks very attractive so why not show her attributes? And more catchlight in her eyes would be a bonus as well.
