Establishing Mood

This photo of my friend's portrait has the fast falloff of attached shadows and it establishes the mood and atmosphere. I was not set my friend for taking a picture at this moment. She was just looking out through the scenery and the I caught the scene. The brightness of background is contrast to her in black. Although her fingers on the coffeecup does not have  the attached shadows that much helps to make the mood somehow her freedom from all thoughts or thoughts for worldly.
