Love the soft focus effect and really good job with the horse. I wish that she was looking in the other direction toward the horse.

I know the focus of the picture is the girl, but I'm a horse person, and I'm sorry if I sound to critical. I think the picture would of looked more pleasing if the saddle pad was clean. If it is a clean pad, I would of tacked up with a white one.

obviously, your model is stunningly gorgeous - which probably means half the work is done for you in this case ;) the mix of the soft focus and the near depth of field is really effective and adds a very real sense of physical depth and distance to the picture. i'm in two minds about the horse; it's a bit weird to have him in this sort of shot, but then horses are very dream-esque sort of creatures, and that, i suppose, again suits the soft focus. also not entirely sure about the pose; seems more street attitude than the country girl peasant the attire and environment would suggest... just my interpretation i suppose. i also like that hat; the inclusion of the splash of red works for me against whites and greens. visually very appealing; 9.

ps: i'm not going to join the hordes and mention the spelling of beret, i'm too nice to do that :)

this shot is too blurry...could be sharper...Just Kidding!!

The white dress is a bit blown out in the middle as well as the horse's head, good shot otherwise
