Sad storyline

Any room for improvements? I think maybe its too contrasty, but on the

other-hand it might be just the kick that it needs...

Please change nothing, Wouter! Although a bit unusual this works well. The tilt of her head, along with her expression, does add a sadness but the contrast and use of B&W make the composition as much about form as well as story. The space between her shoulder and chin is a good element. The crop is as tight as could be yet preserving just enough space.
