Hi Peter,Interesting PP, Charlie. Looks very filmic, IMHO.
That was my first thought when I looked at the image ,the wb seemed too cold.Forgive me Charlie but it appears a bit cold to me ... a bit blue.
This is my take on it :
A Bit of Warmth
Regards and apologies if I have offended you...I bristle when other correct my 'art'.

Thank you, it does look better with a warmer WB. It was bl**dy cold in the Cloisters though, and we were both blue by the endThat was my first thought when I looked at the image ,the wb seemed too cold.
I think the warmer wb improve the image,it is a very nice portrait and she is radiant.

I'm just trying to visualize this so please bear with me.Here is the camera plate I use on all of my cameras including the S. In particular, the dual lug version is my choice so I can use a Camadapter hand strap for shooting stability/handling AND the Leica S shoulder strap for mobility (S camera hangs from the shoulder strap vertically like a M5 did) ... and still mount it on a tripod or monopod, and access the battery:
Camdapter
Scroll down to the Leica S plate recommendations here:
Camdapter - Compatibility Chart
Use it with any ARCA QR equipped head. I use the RSS HD Monopod head ... the version with the knob release rather than the lever:
MH-01 Pro monopod head
Allows fast use of this Kirk grip when using lighting transmitters along with a SF58 in the hot shoe for TTL fill:

Also use the plate with an ARCA tripod head on a Gitzo ... and this RSS camera rotation system in studio on a Studio Camera Stand:
Camera Rotation Device
Hope this helps offer an alternative,

Yep.I'm just trying to visualize this so please bear with me.
You would have your Leica S on the Kirk bracket with the SF58 in the hotshoe of the camera and maybe a ProFoto Air Remote attached to the grip and with a cable, plugged into the LEMO PC sync of the camera.
Am I close to being on target?
Rick
Good deal. And the ProFoto Air and the SF58 can sync with CS lenses up to 1/1000 of a second, correct?Yep.
Not sure what a LEMO PC is, but if you mean the standard type of PC port on the side of the S camera, then yes.

Sorry about the LEMO reference. I see that it is for a remote release and USB connection, but the camera has a standard PC connection as well.
The only things I could think of are:Is there something in camera I'm missing?
Random thoughts: not to insult, but I've done some of these myselfI might buy a regular Air remote. It's just a shame since I have the C-TTL one here. Honestly, I've tried everything. HSS-TTL mode, TTL mode, Manual mode. Nothing works.
