I like it better with the window included.
The additional graphical element stabilizes
the  lines of the composition.

Now it looks more like resting to me than pain.

PS. I am still not sure you like my humor though....
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

we know it is humor that is all it counts, if something  sounds odd is just a matter of pushing your mind frame and one eventually understands it , otherwise consider it lost in translation , no harm done or intended either way

Great job Armando  :) .  I agree with Bjørn on the window frame.  For me it adds a story, question to the image.  I also think Erik got it right  :) .

Well done, magic  ;D
Tom
OK, to me  :) .  A story ... she is waiting by the window and looks melancholy .  She is waiting for something , put probably , someone to arrive and they are late or not coming.  Another possibility is that she is watching someone go...... she is said about it.... lots of possibilities.

The inclusion of the window frame adds possibilities for the viewer to think about.

You do not understand me at times because you are a very different person. That is only natural and you do not need to worry about it.

I do not use Emoticons because I regard them as ridiculous. This is a site for adults, not Kindergarden.

here is a rework

3-1-2
comming here lately I like 3 over the other 2 versions.
3 (positve)
- her left arm seems much better connected
- her poses overbalance has found a counterweight in the window appearance
- the window adds a geometrical element (i like structures of order worked into scenes)
- light balance and pronounciation is better developed compared to 1 and 2
1
- left arm looks disconnected
- hair very dark (too dark for me)
- pose very interesting but not consent between body and face/head/left arm.
-- There is a tension set in the torso that does not repeat in her face,
-- There is a stiff feeling added by the hand supported on the hipp (or supporting the hipp?)
-- (I think Frank statement of  'pain' aroses here)
- texture (ie hair) and light foreground - background separation could need a touch up (too dark, different contrast spread?)
- the framing is cut tight and well and rises questions if looked at often enough, it does not support balance neither does it add dynamics

2
- as 1 with little (secondary?) retouches (did not spend as much time with this as with 1 and 3)

Picking hairs my personal impression would be that she did not perceive the light the same way as armando did - they were good but not perfectly connected in this scene.
Scene presentation, framing and BW presentation are good especially in 3.

Armando - now the image is complete in my eyes.
