Thank you Tim for weighing in here. This lady didn't like to be photographed, but when she took a moment to adjust her hair, I just had to make the image. For me, this was one of the instances where the background was paramount in expressing my ideas about my subject, especially in portraiture.

Jay Maisel speaks of "gesture" here the gesture is not only in the hands, but also in the way she is framed by the combs.
