I think this is a wonderful photograph. It just drips of personality! A couple of thoughts: First, I think this is one that screams for b&w. I know, I know, I say that all the time, but I wonder if it might be worth converting, just to see. Second, (and this is a small one) I wish that I could see the tip of her cigarette. I think some space on that side of the frame might be nice anyway; get her off-centre a bit. The other elbow being cut off doesn't bother me a bit, in fact I like it, but the cigarette seems integral to her. Still, I like it a lot. Wonderful portrait. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
