Outstanding pose, beautiful model. Critique. Crop from bottom right corner, cut off up to waist. Reduce the glair from the reflection close to the beautiful face. slight lightening of her right eye shadow and hair-just a touch! Perfection.

Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken for a models portfolio on location in a bedroom with a large (full size) windowTime
It was mid afternoon and the weather was vey cloudy just about to rain.Lighting
The lighting is all natural light, I was intrigued by the reflections on the window so I shot it through the glass from outside and placed my reflection in a way that didn't obscure too much the face but still create an overlap effect from my white t-shirt - if you look at it from the distance and concentrate on the reflection only you can clearly see the shape of my shoulder on the top right and the camera is the darker area over the model right side of the face)Equipment
Was shot on a Nikon D750 with a 50mm f1.4, at 2.8. No flash or reflectors.Inspiration
I do like reflections and anything that can make an image more intriguing, this time around worked perfectly.Editing
I do retouch the skin very slightly and adjusted curves to bring back the blacks. Also applied a bit of a tint to the dark areas.In my camera bag
I always travel light, Nikon D750 or D810 depend if I'm shooting for publishing or personal, fast primes Sigma ART 35 f1.4, Nikon 50 f1.4, Sigma 85 f1.4, 15" MacBook Pro to shoot tethered into Capture One, Nikon SB 900 that I don't remember to ever use.Feedback
Always look for what's around you, anything that you can shoot through, reflect from or use in front of your lens, be creative be adventurous. It does help immensely shooting tethered gives you a better feel of the final image.
