Good shot! Normally your eye goes to the lightest part of the photograph. Hope you don't mind, I cropped. But this is what I was envisioning. Still, you could crop down from the top more. But as I always say, "Crop in the viewfinder, not in the enlarger...whoops, photoshop

That is EXACTLY the crop I was thinking of.

It is a great photograph but I agree with the others, there is way too much bedspread. I really like the last cropped version. Also, here eyes could be sharper. They are the focus of the shot and they are too soft IMO. Beautiful model and I like where you're going with this shot!

Much better without the lamp!
I personally like the bed in the foreground...it really makes me feel like I am looking at the model irl. A tighter crop would lose this perspective.Just my opinion
Well done.

I feel a square crop is more appropriate, such as my edit. Also a small amount of clarity, vibrance, and sharpening, with a +.14EV and a vignette... Of course, its all subjective. What I like and what you like are vastly different, as it should be...
