A wonderful image - the darkness of these guys makes them very hard to get details, and you have done a very good job to both set the environment as well as give is the details of the eyes and splashes of color. well done.

the smoothness of the light streaming in from the window is wonderful

as a portrait, it appears that you are waiting for someone, someone who has not been there in years

Most dark field work with glass involves the light source behind the subject and the blackboard or most at an angle from one side. Most folks I know use a diffusion sheet instead of a soft box so the light is stretched across the glass even more than what a SB can do. Moving the angle of the light from behind to one side will produce very different results - and it may be worth exploring here. While I understand your goal to try to light this object - very cool bowl....taking a simple glass and exploring the effect on the angle of the light in reference to the camera and the object would be a highly worthwhile exercise....

What a cutie! What sport does she play?

Your portrait work is really starting to blossom, from the solid studio lighting to the relaxed nature of her face. Well done.
