I like the path and closest tree on the left, though the shot feels really busy. I think it is so much of the small undergrowth with highlights and shade. Maybe a softer light that would show less texture of all the small plant leaves would soften the shot enough that the path is a clear point of focus.

This is a beautiful portrait. The connection to the challenge is a little weak, but the quality of the shot makes up for it. I love the way the background compliments her hair perfectly. My only picky point is the black cord around her neck. It would have been better if that were a necklace that didn't leave the frame. Lovely. Good luck. 9.

What a beautiful portriate to show passing of time. You can see the youthfulness in her face, the natural beauty, and the sophicated maturing of a lovely woman. bumping up.

lovely portrait, great use of muted tones (would like the bright area center right a bit darker as I feel my eye wonder off your models engaging expression) - one of my ribbon picks.
