Very nice image, the focus is excellent near your subject. THe lighting is wonderful, gives a country feel to the piece as well as a freshness. Lovely woman, very natural looking - fits the image well too. Nice job! 8

You captured good light, love the scene with the illuminated leaves and the pretty girl with long hair standing by the tree, well composed picture.

Impeccable shot. Very sensitive, beautiful. 10.If the photographer is the Lady in the photograph do you realize that you are almost cheating because you are so beautiful? :)

Nice colours and good composition, in terms of model and her position within environment. What I don't like is the brightness of yellows coming through the gaps in the darkened foliage behind her - competes a little with the beautiful highlight in her hair and the dynamic foreground colours of green and blue.
I like her pose though and the slightly blown out lighting on her skin works for me.
She looks contemplative though I'm not sure I'd really conclude that's she's alone if I were to see this image outside of the challenge.

Lighting really is beautiful here. It gives colour and warmth as well as light. The way it catches on the model's hair is particularly appealing. However the content of the image doesn't grab me. The pose of the girl feels unnatural, I'd prefer a (faked) walking position. The trees, trunks and shrubs within the frame are somewhat messy, the shapes they form don't make for a particularly good composition, in terms of light, shadow and form. I do like the diagonal of the road surface but the actual colour of it feels out of place.

excellent picture maybe a tigher crop to lose the road/path and show more detail of the model ? 9

Nice even light. Good use of hair as both frame for face and repetition of pattern (vertical background lines). Well done. 9

I think this is a beautiful image. Very peaceful which evokes solitude for me. The lighting is excellent, as are the colors. A nice contrast of warm and cool tones. The human element really adds to the feeling of the image. Well done. 9

She looks like she belongs to this wood. It's a good match. Just for fun, maybe put her in an old peasant type costume, since this is a challenge near holloween. Good image as it is though.

Maybe she seems a bit more daydreaming than lonely, but I think the composition, as well as subject, colours and lights are fantastic! Gratulations!
