I would like to have seen a little light on her face. A small flash fill in . As it is i can not see if she is concerned or just has her arms folded.

Hi Paul, thanks for your comment. The reason I shot it like this is that she wanted to remain anonymous i.e. I needed to somehow illustrate the story, without using the too-easy and un-visual option of pixelating. Alternative body language could have included having her hands on her hips, but those shots didn't really come off. Cheers :-)
