I've looked at this one several times to let it sink it, and I've decided it just doesn't work. Aside from the details, the general mood just doesn't seem right. Her posture and what I can see of her expression look relaxed, and that's inconsistent with her being "trapped" in a confined space behind the bars.(posted 8164 days ago)It might work better if she were simply leaning back against the wall and looking away from you (giving a sense of indifference), but by having her hold the gate it emphasizes that she's confined. Having her grip the bars at various locations and adjust her facial expressions, you could give either a sense of vulnerability (and fear) or a sense of defiance.
