I think the angle of the lighting is a bit odd. Judging from the catch lights in the eyes, it seems like the key light is slightly below her eye line. Maybe try lifting it up a bit?

Thanks for the feedback Michael. This was one of my first shoots with lights... I realize now how unconventional this was and don’t do this anymore but I still love the emotion portrayed in this shot. So much to learn but loving every minute of it!
