I'm not always crazy about a high angle, but here, I think it adds to her allure (though that's probably because it presents her in a submissive posture). The lighting is strong, and I like the rich color, especially the contrast between the cool background and her warm skin tones. The color overall looks a bit yellow, but that makes it seem like candle light, which is perfect for this shot. The framing is also perfect. It does look like some interesting texture and detail in her top has been lost. If this is because you've added contrast overall, you might want to mask out the contrast on her top. If not, there are ways you could bring up the highlights in the blouse just a touch. I'd also pop the highlight in her hair on the left side, and burn the right side of her face just a bit to emphasize the depth and enhance the Rembrandt effect. A little more selective burning would help add definition to her jaw line, for example.
