Steve,
I think this a strong, indeed, a powerful image, all the more so by inclusion of the space above the subject.
The “space above” reinforces awareness of the subject’s tentative entry into a slim slice of luminance between two somber, dark zones. In fact, I suggest cropping from the right about half of the dead black zone from which she is emerging to further enhance her isolation, perhaps tenuous, between the two, similarly ominous and prevailing dark realms.
