I very much like it. Technically all the parts come together to enhance the subject: the lens, the paper and the developer. I might crop it 1/2 down, I find the hands on knees to be distracting. I'm a bit puzzled by what looks like grain in a 4x5 image - is that the paper texture, an artifact of lith processing or is this an enlargement from a small part of the negative?

You're probably right about the crop. Sometimes it's hard for me to give up part of the image. Come to think of it this is cropped a fair bit, the full 4x5 goes all the way to her feet. So this is about 60% of the neg. The grain is totally from the lith developer.
Thanks,
