Probably not the best picture I took all month, but there's something about it I rather like... It seems to have that French film mood, with incidental elements scattered around in an incidental, yet pleasing way. Like that bottle of wine, and the shadow.
Well, that's my take on it, anyway. I'm guessing people will hate it, and it will score sub 5, but such is life.

your title reminds of a ballett that is about to launch in my hometown next month called "Four Colours Red".
Definately has a cinematic feel, like a screenshot out of a movie. except i don't have to watch the rest of that movie to make up the story, because this shot already offers a lot.
I really don't like the yellow tones here. Looks like you had a hard time with lighting. Not quite sure why she is looking down but would have liked maybe a look towards the camera with her head still down. Would have giving more of a mystery to her. The bottle is a bother for me too..either the whole bottle or none at all.
Aside from seeing the bottom of the frame (?) in the upper right as being a distracting element, I like the left hand side of your image. Good lighting. I like her downward gaze.
Lovely moment, beautiful shadow. I think the model has her chin too far down, a little higher may have been more flattering. Also a little less saturation on the yellow I think would have been more visually appealing.
There's a lot to like in this photo - the stairs, the top of the bottle of wine, the mood, the shine in the earring. I do find the object in the b/g behind the subject very distracting, however. This would score a couple of notches higher without that.
This wants to have a story to it, but I'm not sure what that story wants to be. What is she looking at, why is the shot cut off where it is? I like the shadow of the stairs and the glint of sunshine on her earring. I'm not fond of the way the shot is cropped at the bottom though I'm sure you probably intended it that way and I just can't figure it out.
