Great lighting, if I were to make any criticism it would be to dodge out the slight light on the floor to make it even more graphic, and maybe boost the highlights a just little on the shin/foot. But they are minor quibbles and it works really well without them anyway

The lighting is just about right but I would give it a square crop as the lower shadowed section of the image is a distraction.
This is an excellent shot, subtle lighting, and an example of less is more for sure.
I agree with all the above, - its an image that can work with many crops. The floor area is certainly better darker, - just paint in black.
What I find is that I would like a little more room between her head and the top of the frame, no matter how its cropped.
Ive loaded 3 mods, one from the suggestion made by Richard, and two more, one the original in a 19:6 format to move her head further from the top.
Well done,
Regards
Willie
