Female Portrait (b/w)

[Digital]

C&C welcomed. I am not a big fan of the background on this photo. It was a spur of the moment shot. Bruce

I agree with you on the background; it is a bit too distracting.

I find a "spur of the moment" shot (a.k.a. grab shot) rarely turns out well, especially for a portrait. The lighting is not great here, the pose introduces unwanted wrinkles in the subject's neck and face. The gaze needs a bit more work too.
