I love the mood and feel this picture has; sorrowful, but not morbid and simple.

The pose of the model itself is really unique; simple, yet expressive. The lighting on her back illuminates all the right places. My only problems with this thing in particular is her right shoulder (your left), which looks oddly placed, but it doesn't really take away anything from the picture, just one off those small chinks in the armor, as one may say. The other thing is particular area in the top of her bun (as other user pointed out) that I can't quite make out. It kind of looks like a hairpin, but I can't really be sure. But besides these two minor details, which are really insignificant to the photo, the pose is perfect.

One thing that does distract a little is the background. As you can see, the edge of the window in this picture is crooked, probably due to the certain angle in which the photo was shot, maybe meant to make the model look less slouched against the table. But, at least for me, the (seemingly) completely horizontal table and the diagonal windowsill kind of confuses me and focuses a bit more of the viewer's attention on it, instead of the mood itself. Or maybe that's just be being obsessive (most likely).

In all, I think this is a wonderful photo, with just enough emotion put into it. The leaves (apologies if they aren't leaves) are a very nice touch, giving the photo a bit more of emotion in a sort of poetic kind of way. The lighting is perfect, and it gives the photo the perfect depth. The soggy windows were also a really nice touch. It is a really nice picture and I love it, crooked background and all. Really nice work you got here.
