I love the way this piece is cropped on the right side--cutting off a small part of the head. It plays well against the downward gaze of the woman--I think if the head had not been cropped off this way, the composition would have felt bottom-heavy. I also enjoy the warm tones you achieved in the face and hand. Well done!
