Great photo and beautiful model. I know you got abuse on similar shots because of the fireplace, so I won't comment. I do wonder about what ISO you shot at. The "grain" is strange to me even on the download.
The framing, lighting, symmetrical pose, model, etc are all A+ again. I do find that black thing distracting but realize some background items can't be moved.
Edit: Posted same time as previous. Apparently that is a fireplace and was mentioned previously but the comment is still valid.

Outstanding image capture and model. Thanks for sharing.
That in no way is bad hair.
I don't find the fireplace too distracting. It provides some tonal and compositional balance in my opinion.
The eye might go there momentarily, but there's nothing to see, whereas the subject is glorious!
Fireplace might look better with a fire going.

The pose is fantastic. The crossed legs with just a front toe touching the floor is great. I'll be copying that. Everything comes together nicely. Good job!

You pose and light her beautifully!
I do not find the fireplace distracting at all. Actually, I find that it adds a touch of reality to the photo. Did I forget to mention the beautiful, well-posed model--my bad!

There is a tilt that the fireplace reinforces visually. And it does take away from the whole picture.
The study of the model could be improved by draping a dark (or light) fabric to cover the background over the fireplace. Bottom line, the fireplace distracts and diminishes the shot.
On the other hand the technique is good regarding the model. And the model is good at what she does.
