Very nice capture but I would suggest a somewhat unconventional crop, 9 x 10.

No thanks on the crop!

Absolutely perfect as it is i think.
Full of colours and optimism with a smooth sweet light!!!!!!!!!

Bravo, Keep shooting.

I agree with Michail, the original horizontal image & crop is by far the best!

I agree, the original horizontal one is much better. Background supports very well the portrait.

This is a choice street candid.Great looking subject,good colors and nice blurry street background.Excellent image!

An inspiring expression of a relaxed beauty.  All the elements work together and the composition needs no cropping for the following reasons.  First, the red design on her clothing demands primary notice and is in color harmony with her lipstick.  Second, the hot pinks in the background form balance points with each other as does the green in her clothing and the green door behind her left shoulder.  My eyes see her first and the street scene next in its wonderful mix of blurred colors.  A vertical crop of the woman removes the pink on the left and makes the pink on the right more noticeable and thus becomes a distraction.  The many lead-in lines to the woman prevent any of the other elements from pulling attention elsewhere for long.  Technically very well done with soft 3-D lighting on her face, good overall color and use of space.

What a wonderfully rich palette!
