You noticed the cart ? Jumanji, I've returned to this portrait a bunch of times, because it is striking. I think it is a combination of how relaxed the young lady looks, plus those very long legs (which catch the eye not only because they are there, but they are the lightest part of the image, so your eye goes there first, and then looks at the rest). All in all, a portrait which your subject should enjoy for a long time.
