I think the photo would have been much nicer if we could have seen her hands holding the bowl, also.
Yeah, I would have wanted to get those features also.

Too bad the situation was extremely restricted and I was lucky to get into position to have anything from her mid-body at all. The table you see on the left side was so crammed you couldn't see but her head and movements in the room were restricted.

I have maybe one more which show her assistant maiko also, I'll try to get that here too. I was able to snap it at the end of the session when we were allowed to move a bit more freely.

I'm also experimenting with this beta version of Adobe Lightroom... I'm not yet quite skilled in that and the new controls seem to take quite a lot of thinking to be applied correctly... but damn it's nice piece of software.
