Hi Becky - this girl doesn't do "posing" - it may have something to do with that girl power thing. We she does sometimes but they are easy to pick out from the goofy smile she produces. Hence the crop too - the left side is simply the edge of the frame :-) That said, I agree with you that having the whole (blurry) hand there would not be an improvment.

Was this a spontaneous capture, or a pose? Regardless, what really works in this portrait's favour is how the body and arm are positioned as well as the angle of the tilted head. It's very dynamic and draws the eye in much easier than if this had been a more perpendicular shot. I particularly like how the arm kind of swoops from the body into the foreground. I'm usually not a fan of partially cropped objects, but I think cropping out part of the fist was a good decision here . . . you don't really need it to convey the "power" in "girl power" - it's the face that conveys this message, and in a more interesting and complex way. Too much blurry fist in the foreground would have been distracting, methinks.
As always, and this is said with the usual jealousy, great job with the tones, especially considering the light coloured jacket against a fairly dark background.

Mi piace il gesto... ooops, I was writing in italian ;) I like the hand's gesture, but I would have liked more a direct glance to the lens, anyway it's a good shot, above all focus and tones are very fine, it shows well the women power :)
Unfortunalely many italians don't speak english (me too ;) ), I hope you can understand the italian comments with the translate button, sometimes they are very funny!
Regards
Max

beautiful portrait and matching title! blurry fist and low DOF work well, drawing attention to the girl's expression...
