I sort of get the idea. The focus could have been sharper (in my taste), and the on-camera flash is not flattering at all - the shadow under the chin hides the true shape of the subject. I believe a more effective B&W conversion could have made this stand out more. The pose is nice and the short focal length is unconventional (but specific and intentional, which is good).

Although her body is visible her head looks strangely detached to me - almost as though she has poked it through a picture.

If the lighting was more harsh I would like this more. But I still like it some.7.
