There might just be too much going on in this shot, which is gorgeous. Love her face, her make-up, her hair, her shoes. Leaning against the piano might have been enough, with the rest just hinted at in the dark.
This is my absolute favorite - totally unique concept. The tones fit the portrayed era. Although the model is dead center, and surrounded by a lot of stuff, it is the bright colors of the objects on the right side that keep the eyes moving around the image.
On a personal note - the only thing that is jarring to me is the large tattoo on the model's arm I mean, how many elegant (or low class)women had tats back in the 20's.
I see the classic feel you were going for, but I'm not fully convinced you totally pulled it off. Mainly, the tattoo on her arm and her makeup detract from the classic-ness.
A good shot, but the sharpest focus seems to be on her right shoulder rather than her face and there is maybe a little too much focus on the surroundings- they compete with your model.
Eyes are way to intense. A bit of dear in the headlights. The face is a bit out of focus for me to and I really think this would have been better in sepia. 5
