Any feedback welcome

I love her expression, Saundie. A great image of her, and the chickens, particularly the one in her arms, add a lot to the image.
A very folksy image and black and white version suits this one very well. I bet she keeps those chickens in line. I like the dark BG which provides some nice separation of the subject from BG. Well done…Jim
Thanks for the comments. Tilly is a force of nature and the apple of my eye. 
Thanks Dennis!
I’ve been busy and just now saw this and have to add my praise – it’s a fantastic portrait with gorgeous tonalities that conveys so much about the subject! Very well done! She (and her chickens) are so fortunate, as are you!!
Thanks Diane, yes I am very fortunate, I do wonder about the chickens some days though. 
Tilly is absolutely adorable Saundie! I have a granddaughter about that age, but she has ducks and geese at home. Love it!
Thanks Ed, she is! Tilly would love ducks and geese… well, maybe just ducks. 
I only saw this today, so late to the party. Outstanding. I love everything about it - her expression, the chickens, the darkness; it is absolutely surreal and riveting. It is vaguely reminiscent of Keith Carter’s work and that’s about the highest compliment I can give.
Just beautiful. The impression on her face, the timelessness and the way you edited the photograph. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the wonderful comment! It is indeed a compliment to have an image that is reminiscent of Keith Carter’s work!
Thanks Holger appreciate your comment!
