Looks great.
Nice soft lighting, relaxed pose. I like the conversion, processing.
What to suggest? Maybe ...... slightly less angled pose?
Looks great.

Perhaps a different crop, a mid-tone bump and retouching?

Karen & Scott,

Thank you for your comments and Karen's re-work.

Keeping the chair-rail molding horizontal defined the angle - I chose not to remove it. Went with the negative space to avoid center-itess.

And I need to thank my wife for her patience and tolerance (former middle-school special-ed teacher so she has plenty of experience) while I played with a new lens - my last acquisition for some time to come.

Regards,

Bob

Not bad. I think the composition is fine personally Looks a touch too grey, and a little soft, perhaps pulled back on the clarity. A little more clarity and contrast and I think it would be solid.

joelewisphoto & richdavid,

Thank you for your thoughts and taking time to comment.

The softness is intentional out of deference to the subject

The variety of differing preferences is interesting - what makes photography fun

Regards,

Bob

I wouldn't change a thing. I think it's very nice for what it is. FWIW
