Hey

Let me start by saying I really like this piece. It's very powerful and says a whole lot.

There are few things that bother me though: firstly, the lighting is very unflattering. Her bra creates a very large, unflattering shadow on her chest which can be easily fixed by either adding another spot light coming from the right of the model or by changing the direction of the light altogether.
The image is washed out. I'm not sure if I like it or not yet I'd play with different lighting/contrast and see what comes out better.
The pearls I would have replaced with a different necklace (the same look but) with different colours. Something that would stand up against her skin (if you're doing a washed out image, I think it's important to have a few things pop up against the skin so that the viewer doesn't entirely lose interest).
I'd also probably match up the earring and the necklace so that they have a sort of 'theme' and balance the image out.

As to the valentine's candy, I'd pick a bright colour that doesn't match her skin tone (i.e not pink or orange) so that it really pops up and creates a point of interest and at the same time will emphasise the subject matter.

Otherwise, as I said, a lovely image
