Hi, Juan ... This isn't a very good or interesting photo other for the slightly intriguing color cast from the lights in the bar. There's no story - just a woman sitting at the bar staring off somewhere, no interaction of people with one another or with the photographer. The composition is, at best, mediocre. Frankly, I think it's poor, but I'm sure others will find it to be to their liking.. The face behind the subjects's face adds nothing to the photo, and, imo, is a strong distraction and poor compositional element. The face at the left edge of the frame does little to add anything to the picture.
It's quite possible that the greater DOF provided by the istd is a detriment to what may have been a nice little "bar portrait," adding too many recognizable distractions to the image. A softer blur of the background elements, without losing them completely, might enhance the scene. The somewhat askew angle is nice for this shot, adding some dynamic to what could have been an other wise very staid photo. I think this is certainly one situation in whch a skewed perspective works - but not enuf, imo, to move this photo from the mundane to the marvelous. You've done lots of work that's a lot better.
