I like the pose and composition, but I think your processing needs work. You're over doing the skin IMO. Why do your subjects lips look dry?

Needs more contrast, she looks very flat, almost ghosty..

I think you need to drop all the way back to SOOC, do some adjusting there first off to get her skin from being so pale looking, and then put some softening (if even needed). But your softening should be very very subtle.

Her eyebrows are scary sharp. I'd suggest a quite a bit less sharpening on them.

I would try warming the image up some - then add some contrast. But I agree, the comp looks nice!

White balance appears off. Way too much sharpening...image almost looks surreal. Not very flattering imho.
