Hi Frederic,
yes, very determined! a bit stern as well :)
God only knows what she sees and what she's thinking about!
another interesting photo-observation in your gallery:)
The POV is just great!

well.. concerning the composition...
in my opinion, the vertical format is a good choice; anyway the lower part of the image is too dark (almost 100% black without any trace of grey or white) and doesn't bear any particular "message" (wasn't your aim to capture the face? :o) );

so, perhaps, here we return (again) to cropping :)
I'd suggest cropping the photo a bit at the bottom as it makes the picture too "heavy" and distracts attention from the top - from the lady's face. But this is just my opinion. Others may think otherwise :)

warm greetings from warm Moscow,
Elena

Hi Fredric,

A nice portrait. The grayscale tones are perfect. The look is stern and bit cinematic. I like the way her exprssions and the eye liners are revealed in the pictures. The eyes are beautifully presented.

Nice work
Tushar

she's like ice, and ice is cool that's why I like the dark bottom and the frozen eyes.
she looks far away and drifts to a place you cannot reach.
like it.
enjoy your day
Zeynep

Salut cher Fred

Una donna formidabile! Wow, va va voom. This lady is sexy, even I as a woman who loves men, can see that she is sexy. So French, so sophisticated. The Black & White accentuates the sexiness. A sizzling photo, superbly shot, sharp and well-composed.

Merci pour le partage et belle journee
Lisa
