It's fun, first of all to see what PS can do, and second of all to see everyone's suggestions for cropping (since I don't think I did a particularly good job of cropping in the viewfinder).
I really like how the soft shadow works here, Simon. Of course, the purist in me screams out, "That's dishonest", but the other side of me says, "Well, it looks pretty cool, though." <vbg>
A totally different look in that crop, but you can see her pretty face much better. Not quite so contrasty, so there's a bit more detail in the darks, which I like.
An interesting take, IMHO. Thanks.
cheers, frank

I like the picture, but it was a bit dark and the central position of her, along with what can be spotted in the window didn't really click with me.
Hope you don't mind I did a quick WOW on it. I think I would have ended somewhere around here, although I am not quite sure if I overdid it. (It's just a variation):

(I was surprised at what clothes she proved to be wearing, since the original was so dark, I thought she was in a long dark overcoat and knitted stockings...)
