I realize from your introductory comments that you have a background issue. In addition, rather harsh tonality while it may be intentional, adds a degree "pressure." In many shots the model's face glistens as though perspiring and to me, conveys a sense of discomfort. The window shot is the cleanest and best pose although the model almost seems secondary to the window frame.
