Michael Stone will be proud of you! You're quick and you did it!
I wonder though if it's not factive instead. After all, you didn't alter anything. We just don't see the woman and, so simply imagine her.
This reminds me of Henri L. Bresson's street work, but it's far, far better! Actually this is an exceptional photograph; just superb! Those legs, BTW, are really so very delightful!
