 Compositionally, I like how the subject is in the right side of the frame and how you have used a clean black for negative space.  A couple of different things could have been done to make it a bit more dynamic though.  From the higher angle, it looks like she is looking down on the flowers which is nice; however, the angle itself is rather stale.  Higher might give it more of a dramatic feeling, or lower to show more of the detail of its face.   If you really like this angle, I think zooming in and cropping it very very close.
 
 Technically, I think this photo falls short.  The focus is good, but the lighting is not.  It looks underexposed and this causes it to seem very very flat, and un-appealing.  With better/brighter lighting, I think this could have been a very intriguing still life.
