Hi, you are definately on the right track with your use of the lights, you have a good eye for lighting conditions overall.
For this photo, I think there are some improvements that can be done and this could have been done differently to get a better outcome. I like the pose and lighting condition and the composition is good, but could be a little better imo. I agree with others on the cropped hand at the top.
I took your photo and worked a little with it (hope you don't mind, just tell me), I rotated it a little, cropped your "distracting" leg out 'cause it shouldn't be shown that you're sitting imo, made a little more contrast to it and faded your left hand out to black (not the best work) to have it more equal to your other hand. But imo it would be better to see at least an outline of both your hands, but I can't do anything about that in the version I posted here.

Again, I feel that you did a wonderful job at this one too...more in the way you have constructed your pose..your face says so much of contentment and too, "Joy." This photo gives the viewer that the model or you are very happy and appear to be free.....very moving photo...also, as a whole, the photo has a free flowing rhythm and a can hear silence and nothing but the heart beat beating.
Crop of the top hand is uncomfortable though, so I think it needs more black at the top or more cropped off - down to the wrist or airbrushed to black to the right of the softly light vertical line on the forearm.
I'd lose the bright highlight near the hip area and I wonder if this would be stronger without the thigh visible too?
Image looks very smooth - almost too smooth since there is very little natural texture visible.
