I like how creative you got with covering parts, but I think she looks a little broken. It'd be more comfortable to look at if her legs were angled the other direction. But then you'd loose the effect of her face looking through her leg.
Yes, very creative. Lighting and contrast are really well done but I agree that the photo lacks something. A slight change of angle would reveal more of her face, then you could have repositioned her right leg.
Thought I'd share one of my first pics of my more artistic side. CC would be much appreciated as I can only get better.
Cool pose; I couldn't begin to re-create this because I'm ignorant of lighting, but there's a noticeable ring around her high left ankle left over from her sock (presumably) -- which of course is what Photoshop is for.
"Really decent photo. Was it yours or her idea to lift that leg: on toe?? Good idea!
Pose. I like the pose as is. It is different, but lends many different ways to view it.
The lighting and contrst are dead-on too!

Tom,
Thanks for the comments. The lifting of her leg and pointing of the toe was my idea. Got it from someone who said to add it to shots so I did.

I never noticed the ring before, I'll have another look at it. I try and not do any PS if I can.
Thanks for the comment.
Sorry about not getting to these sooner but I just got back from Long Beach a couple of hours ago. I didn't log on while out there as internet was .50/minute and I wasn't going to go there.

I really enjoy looking at the pose. It provides different angles for different thoughts. I also like the shadows of her feet and legs. I don't think she look broken at all - only mysterious! Great job! Oh and the lighting... PERFECT!
