Yes, others have done some work on your image to give it 'something else' but while the crops/rotates are interesting 'edgy' images start with the model's pose and facial expression. Her expression right now says "Good looking woman/mom" which is not bad but what you might want to try is...
-get higher than your subject so you are looking down...cleavage is a bonus.
-get model to lower the chin and look right at the lens. This shift of the head causes the whites of the eyes to show under the iris...bedroomy eyes.
-get model to tilt the plane of her shoulders so the line across the shoulders is not horizontal.
-get model to tilt head away from tilt of shoulders
-The smile should be a hint, not so toothy.
You want her to give you "edgy attitude" in her pose....then enhance it with your cropping and placement.
