Nice lighting and expression, the sepia makes it look a little underexposed and dirty. But that's just my opinion, I prefer sepia on a low key shot. I think the crop is good, would maybe prefer a little more room above her head?
LOVE your title! : ) It makes her unusual position have meaning. Cute shot - border is a bit heavy for my taste but you get an extra point for making me laugh with that title! 7
