The scene really complements the yoga pose. I wish she was a little sharper though.

great image. I had something like this in mind myself actually. I'm curious where this was taken as it seems somewhat familiar.

Comment by Teafran:
By comparison to an earlier image, the author used the natural shape of the background to form and compliment the model's posture and presentation. The sharp angles of the background perfectly match the model. The only way to improve this image would be to have the model face the camera using the same posture. Image conveys the meme of yoga as a positive life style - strength, grace. Well done.

A tighter crop on the girl with the mountains slightly out of focus might be more interesting.

I love yoga. This is a nicely composed shot, I like the way the reeds wrap around and fill in the frame a bit. Very peaceful.

I think i would like it more if there was more colour in the sky.... but you can't control the weather.

nice model btw

I would have maybe played around with increasing the saturation to bring out some colours

Compositionally, this is a very strong image because the "knob" part rests in the lower left third with the nice colors then filling in the rest of the composition.

Technically, the colors are great, and the smoothness of them really helps to add to the feeling of motion. The "knob" is seems a bit out of focus (probably motion blur) to me, but the rest of the shot effectively pulls the eyes away and it isn't as noticeable.

Overall, a very good picture.
