Good portrait. I especially like the little cut-out around the house on the right. which gives this picture an odd and appealing twist.

I think a tighter crop wold work here. maybe remove a third of the left.  I'd recommend not centering your subject as much.

Svetlana,

The ragged edge of the shadow from the thatch roof is very nice, along with the two-toned plastered wall.  They make a simple yet interesting background.  I disagree with Jack about the scene on the right side beyond the building.  It feels accidental and distracting, and it doesn't fit well with the rest of the picture.  I do agree with Douglas that a tighter crop might work better, although I'm not sure about removing the left portion.  I would prefer cropping the right to remove the scene beyond the wall.  That would also take the woman out of the center of the photo, although I do not object to her being in the center.  In fact, cropping both sides to make a square format, and keeping her centered, would also work.

Thank you very much for your comments and for your attention to this shot!

Recently, I prefer not to cropping cadres, and I'm trying to get the result at the time of shooting.
