Monique, this is such a striking photo and I think it will make a wonderful painting. The elements are balanced, everything off center by just enough to make it interesting, and the light is great.

The tangential lines should not be too hard to fix. You could bring the top barre up just a tad so it is above her head. Just start it a little higher on the right foreground, draw a line back at the same angle as it is to the corner, and bring it aross the back. The difference will be very subtle. The tangential line of the chair curve and her waist can be fixed by making the chair curve out more, or not as much, on both sides. These changes shouldn't be difficult.

I'm constantly amazed at the infinite variety of new ideas for compositions that people come up with every day. Have fun with this!
