Your work is serenely captivating and carries with it a strong emotion that makes it commercially viable for sure. Your process for B&W conversion is strong in the blue channel? or is the model of a dark skin tone already?
As much as I really enjoy this image and the deep darkness that it portrays I can't help but think I would love it even more with just a hint of rim light behind her head to separate here from the endless shadow behind her. The separation would provide an anchor point for the emptiness to begin.

Bobby,
As much as I know your idea of a rim light would work well, separating her from the background, we might rethink this. As the picture stands, there is something very harsh in the amorphous junction between her dark hair and the infinite blackness that surrounds her. Right now she could be derived from anything lurking or left behind temporarily or escaped from back there. It's all a mystery and great risk. This is taking femininity to another level of the unknown and exploration.
So, Abhijit,
If what I have said of your picture has resonance with your ideas, then consider this. Showing that she is separate from that unknown, (by lighting from behind her as suggested), might just collapse the significantly gestalt of the picture. If any changes were allowable, I'd put for consideration the idea of adding black space above and beside her.

Abhijit, this grabs me..can't express why though! The ayes have it too!
Excellent detail and mood obtained in classic shadow work. Congrats to both you and the model for having healthy egos that can express an indomitable spirit, yet transfer it into fierce sexuality. Indeed a rare trick these days.
