New Year's Impromptu Portrait

[azhdeem]

I took this shot at a New Year's party of my friend. I would appreciate any critique on the composition. I cropped out a bit of the balcony, adjusted a bit of the color, but decided the picture looked better in B/W.

EXIF Info:
Nikon CoolPix P100
33mm, f/2.8, ISO 200, 1/30

I like the composition and the shot! The color photo on your Flickr looks great too. Well done!

It would be nice to not have her head bisected by the railing, or lose her hair into the background, on the plus side: beautiful model, nice work on controlling the direct flash and the framing giving her some space on the left...
