I'm only an amateur photographer, so take my opinion only for what it's worth.

There's nothing wrong with the photo, but there are ways that it could be better, taking it from good to great.

I think having the model looking away from the camera takes her out of the picture for the most part.  She's there, but she doesn't seem actively engaged with either the camera or the snake.  I can understand that the snake probably made its way behind her back, and so that's why her body is turned away from the camera, but the photo would be improved if maybe she were glancing over her shoulder at the camera, or maybe had her head tilted downward and slightly toward the camera, so that her focus is on the snake.

Alternatively, working with the un-cropped photo, if you have enough room to give more space on the left, it might make it seem as though she's looking off into the distance.
