I experimented a bit.
Not sure about this though ...
Suggestions, ideas ?

I like both the tones and the effect; perhaps the effect is a bit too strong for my tastes, but just perhaps.
However, I find the background at the upper right corner a bit distracting. I would try to remove it completely, or recover some background at the upper left corner, so it does not look unbalanced. Just my two cents.

I think you're right here.
Though I like the unsharp tree in the background it is unbalanced.
I'll probably re-take the image and try another time.

The idea is really nice. I like the high-key approach and the sepia tone, and the OOF tree is fine too. But what this sort of subject really needs is a much stronger composition, one where the frame and all the elements within it are balanced and complementary. That is not quite the case in your shot.
If the subject is still there (and the light is right) I suggest going back and trying some variations on this. What you somehow have to achieve (and I am always trying, but often failing) is to pull off the definitive shot. That is, a picture where the viewer is persuaded that this is somehow the defining treatment of the subject. There, that's a nice easy objective, isn't it?

John just said it all. I agree.

After all I believe I just didn't put enough effort into it ... one of the capital day to day sins .... sh.. happens ...
Thanks for putting the things right.

So go back and do it again with more effort! And show us the results.
