Hello fellow photographers :)
This is one of the photo I made during some project with our friends and I just wonder on any C&C you could help me improve any further!
Thank you for the comments :)

Take two steps back next time.
A little space around her would have been better, especially above her head. This is often the problem with the 35mm format. Medium format cameras at 6x4.5 aspect ratio are wider and this leads to naturally shooting more width. With 35mm cameras one needs to disciplin ones self to shoot more width and if necessary to crop the image to be less rectangular.
Your light is OK on her body but on her face the shadow of her nose is too much.
The green blanket does not work.
However, overall it looks nice. The good things are; She is beautiful, she has a lovely understated smile, your lighting balance (brighter around her face and darker lower down), the pose is diagonal, your general colour palette (apart from the green), her make-up. And if you have done any work on her skin, very well done as it looks like she has naturally perfect skin.
So, much to compliment you on but some issues to consider next time
I made tons of photos where I have whole person in the crop and I usually end up in state where there is lot of uninteresting empty space. This time I wanted to give a try something new, and cut things and just wondering how did that work. From comments I understand that it didn't :)
I Agree about the nose, on some other photos where I instruct model to move head more towards light it worked bit better than here, I just loved the pose on this photo that's why I wanted to share.
I'm surprised that the green blanket didn't work out. I Though it's a nice color combination with brown - uhm, have to reconsider that in a while ;)
Thank you for detailed C&C.
The green is no big thing. In fact it is not so much the colour but the brightness and the pattern, which distract us from looking at the beautiful woman we are supposed to be looking at.
