People have commented on the lighting. This was (as Leo has ascertained) a single light set-up. A singe softbox lying on the floor camera left - pointing slightly upward as it would because of its shape.
This is the third picture I have offered of Raphaella - High Key, Portrait with Chair and this one. I like how she looks completely different on each.

I never got the chance to comment during voting. This was one of my ribbon choices. I gave this a 9. Still a strong finish, so congrats for that. Raphaella is drop-dead gorgeous and you have captured her beautifully. I didn't even notice this was a model you had used before so just went back to check the other entries. Sure enough, all 3 look completely different. I gave the other two a 10 and an 8, so clearly you and her have something good going on! LOL. On reflection though, although I scored this one in the middle, it's my favourite of the 3!
Very crisp portrait. POV from above?, like to perspective. Really like the lighting effect, along with the pose, gives this a sensual and alluring quality. Great eye contact and nice catch lights.
