I love the softness of the colors in this image and how the smoke dissipates into the background. I cannot quite define where the spots of light at the bottom of the image are coming from. Maybe a longer exposer could help create some really cool light trails and add another layer to the image. Overall you did a great job!
The use of color is the highlight of this image. I would bring the cool tones out even more by providing additional warm lights in the background. You have probably scene films/images where this bokeh technique is utilized for dramatic and visual effect. It would work great with this foreground portrait.
There are a few good examples here if your not familiar with the term bokeh
It's interesting that you chose "traditional" portraiture as your subject. The cooler tones throughout the image are consistent, which creates such a mysterious feeling. The figures in the background also create an anxious feeling. Maybe the light to the right of the model's head could be minimized to only be visible behind her head instead of on her hair. This would just create a crisper focus on the model.
