Over all a good shot. The leg/knee looks a little out of sorts IMHO.

From the waist up, nicely doen, I agree the leg position is awkward and distracting.

The master, the swabber, the boatswain and I,
The gunner and his mate
Loved Mall, Meg and Marian and Margery,
But none of us cared for Kate;
For she had a tongue with a tang,
Would cry to a sailor, Go hang!
She loved not the savour of tar nor of pitch,
Yet a tailor might scratch her where'er she did itch:
Then to sea, boys, and let her go hang!- The Tempest Act 2 Scene 2

Looks like your humour meter is in good working order.

Very lovely young lady and a wonderful photograph. I like all of it, especially the positioning of her legs. Seems to be even more inviting. Thanks very much for sharing.

Just some random shots.

If she is sad and drinking alone her posture could be more closed... Almost fetal.

Based on her openness you could almost add another glass to the picture and make her a little more prone. On side and legs slightly open. Add a dress shirt on the floor.. Or a tie and the mood might be a little more focused.

Cool shot though.

I find the knee position interesting, as well as the cropped elbows. My eye goes to her face first, which is perfect, then begins to explore the rest. The cropped glass goes with the other cropped edges. The long almost panoramic horizontal framing emphasizes her slim long torso. The more I look at it, the more I like it.
