Very nice shot although the bike in the background is distracting.

Yes, a lovely shot, and very nice tones.

I am quite supprised at the lovely softness considering you have used delta 400. I have never heard of AM74 but the two work well together.

Was the print toned?

I like this portrait a lot. Initially I thought the Coca-Cola sign was a distraction but the more I looked at it the more I was drawn to the person.

Cheers,
Bill

I think the Coca Cola sign balances out its side of the image, and sort of relates to the glass on the table. I particularly enjoy the beautiful highlight on your subject's face and hair, that draws attention to her and relegates everything else in the image to a secondary role. Very nice portrait.

I like all the elements in the photo which are composed well but also having the main subject shine and the rest toned down so much, nothing comes out as a distraction, like FirePhoto mentioned. I love her pensive expression which goes well with the environment.

What a wonderfully intriguing portrait. The light on her face is lovely, and the bored gesture with the mundane glass and coke sign give it an almost surreal environment. Makes me start to ask questions. Is she waiting for someone? Tired? Ready to go home?

I love photographs that ask questions.

Very well done, thanks for posting.

The more I look at it, the more perfect I think it going to get. I had some initial suggestions, but all that feels like silly nitpick now. Well done. I love the light on the face and the glass.

I like the bike in the corner...

I like it as well. But what I like most is the expression. To me, it looks like she just saw something that interests her and is about to react.

Thanks everybody. I like the expression of the model too. It was quite a surprise. During the shoot, the model got sick (probably because of being 6 months pregnant). If she's waiting for something, it's probably for going home. So Suzanne is very close I guess...

About the film used, I made a mistake: this is Delta 100 not Delta 400. The print was briefly dipped in selenium.
