Hi Ann Thanks for the feedback.
The 'posed' look is just a result of when I pressed the shutter release. She may or may not have known I was taking a photo but she didn't stop walking. I agree about the B&W version. It was just a quick attempt to see if there was any potential there. If I decided to go down the B&W route, I'd be starting from scratch. But I tend to agree with the general consensus that colour works best.
