very nicely composed - i almost wish there was a subject on the street to make the scene more alive.

i like the interplay of lines created by the walking paths - and finding the walker was like doing a 'where's waldo' puzzle.

i like the detail in the dandelion but the processing to darken the 'background' seems out of balance

What a moment captured. It almost makes you want to cry, watching her watch the ashes returning home to create something new.

The image is remarkable subtle and her actions are almost imperceptible without your text above.

On the image itself, your placement is not perfect, but clearly you are limited to the ground you have at your disposal and the timing. Also, I am not convinced that the couple in the background is helping or hurting the scene. They seem to pull my attention away from her. Had she been alone (or made alone through post processing), I think her actions would be more apparent.

Touching image. Thanks for sharing.

I like this a lot better. If you were after creating a bit more 'glow' to the skin, I would recommend trying something like the following:

-Create duplicate layer
-Add Diffuse Glow (Filter -> Distort ->Diffuse Glow). You can use the sliders to define how much glow to put in etc.
-Then add a soft layer of smoothing such as with Noise Ninja or similar.

Here is what I did using these steps (hope you don't mind!)
