Discussion of this photo has tended to centre round the 'ashtray or not' issue, though I don't find this so important. It is dark in tone, doesn't catch the viewer's eye too much, and tends to match the mood of the surroundings. Equally, however, I can accept the argument that if she is looking into space, lost in her own thoughts, it is more appropriate for there to be nothing at that side of the frame. More bothersome to me are the neon signs above her head, especially as they cut into the top of the frame. A crop in this area would help this viewer at least to concentrate more easily on the face. Because it is the face and pose which are the making of this picture - a very natural moment, wonderful dark tones and beautiful rim lighting around her nose and cheek. A very memorable picture.
