It works.
 
I like the shot overall, but it does feel like she's a little bit squeezed to the one side of the frame. I know scanning pt/pd prints can be a pain because the scanner picks up the paper texture, but is this a case of scanner-based exaggeration, or is there really that much texture to the paper? If so, is that a deliberate choice?
 
It's kind of a weird pose. Slightly unnerving if that's what you're going for. A bit circus freak show especially due to foreshortening making her look like a bobblehead..
But technically it's a very nice print as usual, Ian
