How does this grab you? Could she cross the pond to the US?

I think the picture is still too sweet for your caption.
She needs to look more annoyed and straight at the viewer to do it justice.

I agree. The caption does not fit the picture, although I dislike captions anyway. The picture should be able to tell the story. There is nothing about the picture that says "get lost".

Indeed.  It's more 'I can't be troubled to deal with you, if anything.

I just wondered if the picture might appeal to a North American audience.  So far, all comments have been negative.

You must have been using film; she looks a bit grainy.

Did you mean she was going to swim? Now that woud have been remarkable.

Yes, I agree but I am not sure why.  It was a digital capture with optimal settings.  However I do not think that this distracts from the image so I did not try to remove it.
