I don't think it's too dark, but I think either the PP or the makeup is overdone,
depending on which of those is responsible for the look of the lady's skin.
If it looked more natural you'd have a real winner here. Don't get me wrong,
it's still very nice. And the model is stunning.
Respectfully Angelo, a comment like that serves no purpose. If composition and styling are not to your satisfaction then offer some suggestions.
You're quite right and I apologize. You'll note my original post was at 2 AM, so I was a bit tired and should have refrained until ready to comment fully.
So as I said, your exposure is quite lovely.
The minor things I dislike:
As for composition:
you've chosen a square, or nearly square, aspect ratio. While that is not in itself a problem, the extent of dark negative space over the subject's left shoulder is a distraction.
as was mentioned by someone else, one fingertip is creeping into the bottom of the image
your crop tends to obstruct the natural line of her bosom. I would have chosen a bit higher or a bit lower, preferable lower to accentuate the line of her silk robe.
as for styling:
I find the clump of hair on her left shoulder distracting. I would've tossed it back over her shoulder leaving only a few whispers of curls.
her necklace is oddly angled
she's displaying a slack-jawed smile. it is always more appealing when there is no black space between teeth and lips.

My only nit is the fingertip, especially the placement of it.
Love the shot, though!
