First off, always try to include some info about the shot in the Photographer's Comments section. It really helps out when we know what the photographer was thinking and what equipment/lighting/etc. were used, especially when you request a critique.
Camera Work/Technical: Wonderful depth of field, perfect WB and very crisp focus. I like your set-up and point of view for this shot, as well.
Lighting: Great exposure control for an obvious harsh light time of day.
Composition/Content: The best element in the photograph!! I like the sense of anticipation that this one gives me as a viewer. I just think, "man she's got a long way to go," and anticipate seeing her next step. The centered composition works very well, but I would like to see her head a little bit further down from the top of the frame. Not much, but she seems just a little cramped.
My Opinion: I really like this image. I mean really, really, really like it. I scored it a 5 because I don't see it as an environmental portrait. It is a GREAT capture, but an environmental portrait needs a face and an expression. In a different challenge, this is an easy top 10 or 20. That's my opinion. I hope it helps out a bit.
