I love the warmth of this shot, her smile too. Wonderful shot.

Comment by Elaine:
Not quite sure what she is wearing. She looks more confined than peaceful. I find the background distracting--the tree and the horizon line. I would give a much higher score had you done a close crop (from the neck up) and had a solid background.

Simply beautiful! I like tighter crops for portraits but this works well. Only the taller tree behind her take my eye off her.

Comment by RobotBanjo:
Wow, that is beautiful! I sure wish her face was a little more visible- might just be this monitor too- who knows? Fantastic portrait!

Comment by doctornick:
Too much space on top. A closer composition or tighter crop would have been better.

Comment by SJCarter:
This shot seems to lack a coherent subject or theme to me. Yes, it's a peaceful shot of a field and something in the background, but there's nothing to grab or hold the viewer's interest. I made a similar mistake (although much more grievous) with a challenge entry of mine (Hay Fever), and learned a LOT from coming in 500 out of 506 entries! I got lots of comments about "no subject", "lack of focus", "where is this going", "not interesting", etc. And while these don't hold as true for this shot, some of them do. I would suggest asking yourself why you took this shot and what you want to say with it. Then examine the shot and decide what elements support these two things and what elements don't. I think you may be surprised at the answers - I know I was...
