Another bloody B/W

Once again I found myself trawling though old images last night for a friend who needed a pic of herself that didn't look too posed, this was the best I could do but the NEF of this photo looked totally atrocious so I decided to see if I could fix the flash over exposure up.

I did and I think it came out quite well all things considered, though C&C is still appreciated.

Nicely processed. Black and white has its own charm.

Nicely caught - natural expression gives a sense of the model's character.

For mine the shot might might be a little crowded on the LHS, and possibly at the bottom too? Suspect this is an uncropped image so adding that extra room'd take heroic efforts...

Just my two cents worth (and I wish I had the people skills to get people to relax like that - portraits ain't me).

Thanks for your input keith, I tried a few crops and this one for me felt the most natural, although I do share you view when you say the bottom corner feel a bit busy, that would have come out with a crop I think I have the best compromise between the two.
