I like the shot. I am not sure I am a fan of the B&W. I would have to see the color version to compare to. You seem to have the same talent I do; clipping of toes and feet. I have had many a good photo ruined because I cut a foot in half. To me, this photo fits into that. I really wish she had two full feet. That said you might be able to play with the crop to make it seem deliberate and balance the image a little. These are just some thoughts. I like the pose though. Almost like she is sulking or contemplating something of great importance.

Ha, you're right, funny I didn't even notice her toes cut off. Thanks for your honest feedback, I'll be watching that from now on. The reason I changed it to B&W is because she has on a red sweatshirt with some very loud bright pink socks....the color seemed distracting. Thanks for replying
