I completely agree that a tighter crop and even a vertical format would work very well. I considered it but chose this format in order to try something a bit unconventional by seeking to emphasize the various diagonal elements in the image -- the long shadow, her legs, the black cloth, and her hair. I'm still not sure it works haha. But thanks for your suggestion. Much appreciated!

Thank you raid! Yes, this portrait is about life, with its shadows and lights...

oh how beautiful ,
I'm ashamed,
I always drive the road (post 3 o'clock),
to the island.
By the next time I visit the palce :)

Thanks Deardorff! We usually avoid dappled light, at least on faces, but decided to incorporate it into the photo. My sweet young friend, who's a dog groomer by profession, was enjoying trying out new poses.

Reminds me of past visits to Venice. Wonderful image.

This is a beautiful image. It reminds me of one winter day we spent in the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, and our room had such a view. Just awesome.

The water looks like a painting! Beautiful capture, Mike.

lovely!

Interesting multiple framing

Nice quiet mood, I like it.
