Great idea for a shot! I like how you have managed to divide the frame into thirds instead of halves, and still maintain the symmetry component. That is not always easy or effective.

Technically, the focus is very good, but the lighting seems a bit flat. Since it was overcast, you didn't have to deal with harsh shadows, which is good, but as a result, you don't have any shadows, so there is very little depth into the picture. I think if you could have blurred the back wall, it would have helped. As it is, it almost seems as if everything in the picture is equally focused, and that can detract from the main subject.

For some reason, I really like that she is barefooted. That just gives a sense of calmness and realness to the shot.

Good work, and best to you in future challenges. If I need to clarify or explain myself more, please feel free to contact me.

I like the concept. It is a very nice photo of the person depicted. I hope it is a family member because it is an interesting and not so typical. Nice job!

elegant photo real and fairy tale both. i'd have deepened the shadows with photoshop highlight/shadow function and warmed the color a bit; but gee that is a beautiful girl

seems a bit underexposed to me, and the lighting seems a little flat
