I like the pose and composition but it's underexposed and lacks contrast.
it's mostly gray instead of back and white. actually there is not one spot of white in the picture.
the only comment I can make on the crop is that I would like to see more of her hair, i feel you cropped to close to her forehead.
brighten it up till the sheet is truly white and add more contrast to the picture to make it pop.

if you want I can post an example of how I think it should look.

I agree with Mr Jones above that it's probably about 1/2 stop underexposed...easily fixed in levels. I know shots like this are popular in the glamor photography world, but I'm not a big fan of upside down heads. Honestly, I find them a little disturbing to look at. I think if you had her face a little more parallel to the lower frame it would have looked better. I did a quick adjustment crop getting her head more in that position, and to me, it looks better.

Contrast is fine (you will lose details if you do more), but it is underexposed.

I honestly like this photo a lot but what is bothering me a lot is the clipping on the arms and the head. Just (if possible) re-shoot or find another photo that didn't clip as much or at all and show us that one, or if it cropped show us the uncropped photo if its not clipping.

I prefer the black and white on this image, the color of the dress in my opinion is overpowering the face.
