I do not think there is anything spectacular about this shot.

I would prefer to see something that stands out as the main subject.
Perhaps better lighting to help bring out the color of the land would improve the contrast against the sky.

I gotta have a pair of those sunglasses. Very cute and love the colors are good, the only thing problem is I tend to focus more on her shirt. Maybe because it is so bright pink. Good luck!!

Joshua, greetings from the Critique Club. It is really a priviledge for me to critique your image. Hopefully both of us can learn through your image.

The concept here is good. I think it fits the topic well. I see a few things that might have helped a little. First off is the image looks a little flat. Getting more contrast into the photo would help the main subject "pop" a little more and give it an even more "out of place" feel.

The other issue I see here is the lack of detail in the flower. I believe a few moves in Photoshop and the flower would probably just jump out and bite you... Well a picture is worth a thousand words so (hope you don't mind)... //www.gammadesignstudios.com/fd.jpg I think the change is dramatic.

The only other thing I could mention is the comp of the photo. The flower is a little too close to the edge. This is called a "pressure point" in photography. A little bit further back off the edge would help releave some of the tension.

This sound like a lot of stuff, but it really isn't. The processing work took minutes in PS. Over all this is a good image. Your score shows it. I consider anything above a 5 a good score. It is a great idea and brings thoughts of summer to my mind, which right now (10 degrees outside) I could use...

If you have any questions email me. I would be happy to elaborate more. I hope this has helped a little...

Comment by HBunch:
She looks like she had fun with this shot. My only suggestion, is to try to reduce the shadow behind her. The backgound is nice, not distracting, however, the shadow kind of is, in my opinion. Just noticed that she also has a bit of red eye, and I think most cameras come with the 'red eye reducer' thing. Not all, so if not, no big deal, but it could have helped in this case. focus and clarity are good. angle and framing/cropping are also good. personality really shows here. Good luck in the challenge.

Overall, seems very dark although there don't seem to be many threatening clouds. That little bit of branch along the left side detracts from the shot's simplicity. Also, the pair of trees are a little too close to the left side of the frame.
