This is a charming picture. The lighting is excellent - very even and soft and the 'pose' seems quite natural. The smile looks genuine and you've gotten good catchlights in the eyes which bring the shot to life.

The only problem I have with this shot is that I think you need to use a longer lens/ get further away as it just feels like her features are a bit distorted by the focal length on the camera.

Not sure if you can do that with your current equipment though, but it has made her head seem ever so slightly 'off' and makes me uneasy looking at the shot. Everything else is extremely well done.

Almost. Looks like it would've been a little better off a little earlier. Also there's a little too much tall stuff blocking the view. - Inspzil

That is a beautiful sky. What are the plants? they are so unique. almost look like large wheat stalks. They make the picture. You usually get trees, but these are so different. Good composition and well executed. A 9 any time. PTL

Beautiful! The colors and composition are really nice. I noticed you are only at 116k, I wonder if it could have been a bit sharper closer to the allowed 150k? DPz

What a colorful sunset :) I love the wheat (?) silhouttes. I may have preferred that this had been shot from a tad higher...to show the gorgeous orange and golds more.

IMO a sunset is no good without a foreground subject. You have done a wonderful job of filling that need. Keep up the good work.

Really neat shot. The grass silhouettes are wonderful. Nice color. I would have been tempted to crop another 5 percent off the bottom, due the coloration in the lower right corner, but it doesn't distract hugely. 9 Swash
