I really like the work you've done on her; very nice.

I don't care for the icon in the background. Very distracting to my eye. It's either not present enough, or should be removed, or more detail should be added back in to the entire background to provide a context for the room, if there was one.

Different strokes as they say. I like the icon in the back. I think it adds interest.

I agree, it's not quite there enough... it's more like "what's that thing?"  Either make it a proper feature or get rid of it.

  Thank you guys for all your opinion. This shot was a request from the girl's Grandma( yes....I am getting pay now ;-)) The problem we had was the time we had...about 30min and location. It was none! Outside we had +100F heat index. We did it inside her house with one rim light(flash) and window light. For post I've used a little wall around fireplace as background and use that to fill the rest , darkened and applied gaussian blur. On her I used dodge and burn and frequency separation technique on her skin. I ended up with extra three orders of 20X30 canvas in sepia. Happy client and happy beginner photographer. Below it's my delivery package!
