It's a neat image, but unfortunately, her position makes it look like both legs are amputated at the knee.

My opinion is that the white stuff in the middle of the table is really distracting.
Perhaps consider removing that and warming her up a bit so she matches the overall tone?

Maybe her legs ARE amputated at the knee, and you're an insensitive clod!

I think it's pretty cute, but also that she's a little lost in the frame. The whole point is her pose and expression, and I kind of have to hunt for it in this picture. Some balance between losing the context and losing the girl needs to happen, I think.

Yes, good touch Lew. Can you draw a couple of good legs?

Thanks amolitor. To be honest I was attracted purely by the colors.

If that's news to you, you're not spending enough here!

Agree. There should be a bottle and a glass on the table.

Those legs belong to Cyd Charisse, who was possibly the closest to perfect combination of looks, figure, dancing skill and personal manner in film history.
In 'Silk Stockings' she was just perfection.

Yes, Cyd "The Best Legs That Walked The Earth" Charisse. "Silk Stockings" was absolutely banned in USSR. That's why everyone there wanted to see it.

Two scenes that stand out in my memory. The first where she dresses in Western clothes for the first time
