Marty: Just a suggestion. Try a small reflector, or a small well aimed light (ie barndoors) to light up the eyes just a little. I cant make eye contact with her and find it hard to connect. If you use barndoors, add a light softener like a small honeycomb grid, or a piece of screening.
A bit too much light on the nose and the bw seems muddy but the composition works here with the crazy chair. You need to balance the range of contrast better with a white reflector on the right side.
