perfect

appears slightly gritty-grainy, but probably OK, to be tested on a "real" print.

picture (curtains, model) look titled towards the left, but it does not disturb me. Brings some "movement".

It is an ISO 1600 film simulation - Silver efex pro
and I decided to leave the tilt to the left

Thanks for commenting Airy

We agree on the tilt. Since however the grain was deliberately introduced (not D800-like, indeed), what about a softer one ?

The tilt, the 1600 ISO, and the model are fantastic :)

Without added grain, and even softer, with more glow.

Fantastic poprtrait as it is.  To me, the ISO1600 grain doesn't look effective enough and the image can go well without it.

The interaction between you and the lady says it all. Beautiful.
