Mesmering! Pensive! Gripping Interaction between viewer & model.
She is the type of model photographers dream of...a model that makes the photographer look good! Score that a 10.

Comment by KiwiShotz:
Very simple, very good. The lighting balance is great, you've got all the detail of the leaf, held its colour and maintained a presense in the blue background. The eye travels bottom-lef to top-right so the angle of the leaf is right on that leading line. The composition may have cost you a point overall. Get the leaf onto a thirds line, or even better, a thrids intersection and you'd have a point back I believe.
