Please don't take this the wrong way and this is my own personal opinion and as such should be taken with a very big grain of salt, but I can't get the connection between the models and their surroundings. I'm not into "edgy," being an old fart and all, so maybe it's all just beyond me.
after looking at it a little more, i don't like it as much either. but it all comes down to taste, i think. there isn't a good connection here, admittedly, but i'm a fan of edgy...

light your scene and frame your scene before you throw in the model. then light your model separately, without the light on the scene.
lit the background first, it was a bitch to get. one of my 3 battery packs died. didn't light the model separately. the pose isn't fantastic either.
then put the two together. no perfect harmony.
i like this one better. it's a bit more dramatic...but i actually adjusted the lights down for the aperture. only thing i don't really care for are the plants in the foreground.
