On my monitor there is a rather slight separation between the nose and the back of the arm. Normally it should be enough (but would really need to see the print to be sure). Unfortunately there is also a shadow line that runs in the middle of the arm which exactly meets and extends the nose line.
The way you set the shot suggests you're not after the portrait but after an atmosphere/mood/feeling. There are very little visual clues to indicate what mood. It's a kind of ambiguous. Rather, it would be if it wasn't for the wheel. Very prominent feature in the background. It's got to play some role in the story. No, it's not ambiguous, it's enigmatic. If this was your goal then it's a successful image. But do something about her nose. Cheers, Leon P.S.
