Refreshing to see your refreshing approaches to photography, once more.

Nice work, nice shot. :o)

Caveats?

More than likely nit picking on my part here, although well composed ... perhaps, and if the area is readily available to you ... losing the standpipe in the background might be a consideration?

The setting, lighting is more than inviting and I don't feel that a revisit, or slightly different approach and setup is out of the creative question.

If I may be bold here ... the softness that I perceive ... intentional?

It works. Just curious, more so, as to whether it was indeed an intended aim of yours.

Lots of possibilities perceived here ... which segues to this ... stimulating another's own creativity? Well ... done.

And but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)

Stephanie - I like composition and lighting in this photo. All elements bring the eye to the left, lower corner. Nice work! Thad

I like the comp. I didn't notice the standpipe till it was pointed out. The "almost" black and white is perfect.
