Oh yes, definitely Johanna's style. And a extra point for such a co-operative cat.
Edit:
It suddenly hit me: this is Wendy's daughter and, of course, what else to await from Moriarty? :)

A terrific romantic glow. Love the shadows on the building.

I like this. Mysterious and emotional.

Comment by giantmike:
I really do like this. One thing I find interesting is that when I scroll down to comment, I have it "cropped" just above the awning, which gives this a really cool feel.

ha! Maybe it's all just a front and aroma is all you're gonna get out of it!

One think I have learned with lighting is to feather it. Don't aim it right at her face but just slightly in front or behind and let the light fall on her. Your are doing great with your lighting.

I love your image. Parisian in style, beautifully lit and well cropped.
Good luck

fill in the shadow ...

put a reflector on the other side, and see how you like it

may be even a wall, you can play with the distance to vary the intensity of the fill

Patience of the model is what usually runs out, she has a great natural expression,
something I have managed to get also from my wife and daughter, and something i struggle badly when
I'm in front of the lens.

this photo is my favorite of the challenge
