I'm not a fan of this one as much as a few of your other photos of this model.  For one thing, to me it appears her head falls outside the focal plane.  It's mostly in her eyes.  They do not appear in sharp focus.  I see you shot at ISO 200, f8, 1/125.  You should have been able to close down your aperture more and still be able to hand-hold your camera (if that's what you were doing), to allow for more focal plane.  If your camera was mounted to a tripod, you could have slowed it a lot farther.  As long as the model was not moving fast, slow shutter speeds shouldn't have been a problem.  However, I do now know the sync speed of your flash.  So, take it all with a grain of salt.  The other thing I don't like about her head is that perspectively speaking, it appears much smaller that it should.  Her cheeks appear larger than her head to me.

I do really like the lighting you have here.  Her skin tone appears very even, with nice, light shadows.  Unfortunately her black shoes do not stand out against the black background.  The straps of the shoes leave her feet oddly diced.  But I do like your use of the blue stockings.  They give a little boost of color and texture to the image.  I think perhaps a small hair light illuminating her from behind would help separate the rest of her hair from blending into black.  Just a couple thoughts.
