Default Breakfast in a Melbourne laneway

Hi all,

This shot was taken in a narrow laneway so the light was not omnipresent however managed to reflect some light off a plate on the table to her face...i know, not the most flattering light from the bottom but i didn't have many options!

Would be great to get some feedback from you guys, just to start things off I wish I had set a broader DOF so that I could get her hair in focus...however these little details are lost to me in the moment.

Thanks in advance for any feedback. Exif after the image

Exposure 0.1 sec (1/10)

I love it
great DoF in my opinion, I actually like the fact that her hair is blurry.
I also like the tones that you picked for it.
I wasn't sure about the hat covering her eyes, but now I think it makes it more mysterious and interesting.
great work!

I like it too and I think you did a good job considering your lighting conditions and the low shutter speed.

Nice photo I like the DoF with the slight blur to the hair.
