I like the stark contrast, the shadow does remind me of a petroglph, nice eye.

Great job of letting the shadows tell the story here. Such detail and perfect timing to get the pose just right, you can even see the cigarette in the lady's hand.

Nice deep shadows & silhouette of a smoking female figure outside the bar - a very pleasing conversion & tone.

In the shadow of a neon martini glass no less. :) and is that a pregnant woman smoking a ciggy?
Nic job here, Joe. Yeah, "Happy hour" is really one of the classic misnomers. :)

Remarks: It appears as if much contrast has been sacrificed, perhaps, in order to contain the highlights. While we have discernible detail in the shadows, the writing of time and weather, unfortunately, appears awash and a little flat.

I would love to see this shot revisited and revised with a little time and care, as it has in it, IMO, the potential for a great and enduring photograph.
