Re content - I thought of both variations - with and without the bag and the woman.

I concluded I like the one with both in it, and it works because the woman is so far away and is a silhouette.
Here, the bag is the main subject, and is nice and clean. The woman is almost part of the background, but lies on the line of light leading away from the bag; thus a secondary subject.

It is minimalistic and this is what I intended....I am glad people see it. I also have this picture with neither the woman or the briefcase in it....I kind of wish I had one without the briefcase, just the woman....but I don't....or don't think I do.

The briefcase was placed as it was specifically to fit into the challenge.

But would the image be better without?

Hummm

Of course, I would not have taken the picture at all without the challenge....;>}}

Lastly, I remain surprised that the iso 8,000 worked out so well...!

Hymmmm....again.

The more I look at this, the more I like it. As was said below - a very nice minimalistic photo.

Very nice, very minimalistic, a style of photography that I love but never seem to be able to capture very well.
You mentioned security is tight, I read somewhere that your drivers license has to be a “Real ID” or you have to have a passport to enter federal buildings. My DL is real ID compliant and I have both a standard passport and the passport card...... why the card?? Who knows it sounded good on paper anyway. I’ve used it once already since it’s easier to carry than the full passport. Paul
