Neat pose and sharp. The head and face and upper breast are in the dark. Some lightening with the Shadow Slider and/or NIK Detail Extractor and/or Burning in Photoshop would help.

Thanks Artie for viewing and commenting. Here is an edit opening the shadows and slight dodge on the face.

Better, but I believe the NIK Color Efex Pro Detail Extractor at a reduced opacity would do better still. And I think that a slight burn is the correct term for lightening.
