Comments welcome !

I will be as honest in my critique as I can - only please keep in mind I do not do portraits. Although I can imagine the complexity. I passed by this image once before thinking it was so-so, and then I came back to it again and maybe that isn't a good thing. It is one of those portraits that one must look closer at I believe. I am glad I came back to it. There are subleties in this image that I now find rather endearing - the hurriedly composed hair, the slightly gaping blouse, and I find that perhaps that is a drum she is playing? She looks like a filing clerk and so her pose and prop are surprising - and I do like surprises! Thank you for sharing it.
