Looks pretty damn good to me! Nice BW conversion, nice and sharp. Personally I might crop in a little tighter off the right and bottom.

Yep, lovely pose, light and expression, but Tim's right. You need to focus our attention on her more...
Best wishes,

Top notch image, I agree with my friends above, well taken and posed

Cropping is all very well but it takes away the surrounds and isolates the subject from the environment. I think the vignette has done the job more than sufficiently on this occasion.

Anyhow! It'S a good pic sometimes we get to deep and miss the purpose of the shot... FWIW I like it regards Ron
