I think the shadows/lighting are fantastic, but I was wondering whether the penumbra (partial shadow) further up her arm might be larger, with the umbra (full shadow) elements heavier towards the bottom (such as across her belly). I think that this would give a much greater sense of top-down depth to the image.
However, you say you worked from a photo ref so maybe you've got the shadows exactly right. But in art you always have artistic licence at your disposal. Just a thought, but please do not take as a criticism as this is a lovely piece.
However, this may be exactly how it appears in your reference image - and therefore mother nature rules. But I only mention this becasue it jumped out at me right away. That is not to takeaway from a beatufully rendered and posed painting/drawing. I am probably being overly picky, so just ignore me! Lol.
