Such a natural moment and gracefully captured. It doesn't have the forced feeling that most of the other entries in this challenge have in order to meet the criteria.
Your title fits the challenge well. Seems a bit grainy, but that could have been your intention, and the color seems a bit on the yellowish side. I do like her her pose and expression though.

Lesley Goodman. You really do have the ability to find the right moment to press the shutter button. Over and over you capture the essence of people. Compositions are interesting and of quirky.
And all of that even if the technicals are not always perfect. Some overblown highlights on the left, a little soft and noisy, and a weird colour because of the acid processing.
