Your composition is also excellent, and you have incorporated leading lines to the subject. The small plant to the right of the window adds visual interest and enhances the overall balance against your subject. Congratulations to you and your model for creating this remarkable image!

And Barthes was right about the punctus/puncture in a photograph, the accidental detail: the unlatched belt suggests the unlocked conversation in process.
