I hope that by the time people go back to see the results of this challenge they will realize how under appreciated was this portrait. Must be some ill spell with it because even I tried to make this comment twice and did not appear so, I try again!
The picture is almost Bergmanesque, there could be an entire film script inspired by it. I still think of it in the top 10 and I place it in my favorites. You got an average of 8 from the 6 commenters and that's a very nice harvest though, unless I miss some mathematical facts.

My second most favorite portrait of the challenge. Has the air of a waif who just got a part in a marionette show. A Piaf look alike. Very nice.
