Default Shot from a cafe in france

Okay, I was in France last week for the football, I spent an afternoon sitting in a cafe, drinking gin, eating well and taking shots of passers by.

Having sifted through them, this one stuck out...



Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Stewart

Nice work! I like the angle, tonal quality and the overall impact of this shot. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Tres bien? (Je ne parlez pas Francais, as any francophones have probably deduced... ).

I would be tempted to crop a little, certainly removing some of the space to the right. As well as removing her from the centre of the picture and giving her room to look across the frame, it would also make her relatively larger, making the most of this very attractive portrait.
