Good idea, however there are some points that can be improved:
- the focus should be done on the eye of the model. Here it's on her shoulder. You're at f/5.6 so if the entire face should be in focus, however it isn't: there is a mistake somewhere
Of course it's only a rule of thumb, but here it's a bit awkward, since there is not much on the shoulder to focus on.
- the right side of the model's face is too much in the dark. Try adding a fill light or a reflector on the left, next time. A third light on the hair (maybe with a snoot) could be nice to separate the model from the background.
I had this problem too at the beginning, resulting in "two faces" portrait. Now I either add another light source (ambiant or reflector, I only own one speedlight for now) or by chaging the angle of the source a bit towards me, so the other side is a bit enlightend, resulting in a Rembrand-type ligthing (much like your [link] photo.).

I realize it's a bit out of focus. I decided I liked it enough to post anyway.
I like the light more dramatic and didn't want to use a fill light.
Thanks for your opinion.
