The light setup is good, as it renders dimension on your face but lights it broadly. The catchlights are nice. The background is pretty much gone, which I'm not too sure about, since you really seem to be floating in this scene. In my view, some depth provided by graduated light behind you -- and it can be done in a creative way -- would have anchored the subject very nicely. Overall a very good sense of light.
