I consider you to be a master level photographer but I do find myself having a little tug of war intrinsically about your lighting. Here is why.
I find the shadow to be a little harsh for your usual style of lighting. I also find the model to be a hairs length underexposed. However, the conflict I am having is with the overall composition. The model's eyes are just sucking you right in! She looks hard and powerful and the darkness harsher than normal shadows, compliments this to perfection.
Her eyes demand the dramatic dark lighting but the pose and style almost demands "glamorous" lighting or being lit brighter with a vignette.
I am not sure if you did this on purpose or not but you were able to capture the elusive "Mona Lisa" eyes syndrome ( This is what I call it, I am sure you know the proper technical name for it) Test it for yourself. If you make the image full size, no matter what angle you look at her? Her eyes follow you. Her eyes never stop looking straight through you. That is what gives this image so much intensity to me that the darkness absolutely works.
