Magical. Love it, can relate to it and gave a high score.
Also the title is perfect.

Greetings from the Critique Club,
What I like: The depth of field in the foreground is really nice, as is the background blur I like that you can tell she is in a forest. The green color is very good, one of the better shots with natural green I often find it turns out not quite right, you have handled it very well. I love your model she looks like she belongs in this environment and she is completely credible as an outdoorsy type who would find this to be a holy place. I think her expresion is wonderful (this shot would of also done well I think in enviro port). I also think the light on her face is good.

My only real criiticism is that I would of like to crop about an inch off the right of the photo just to the right of the outside tree, and I would of liked a little more room on the left. And crop a about half an inch off the bottom.( I do not read other comments left, but I am suprised this did not do better--too many thought didn ot meet challenge?)

Very nicely done IMHO.

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
lovely, definately has the feel of somewhere worth dancing. I like the comments that you have received in that they have picked up stuff that I wouldn't .. like the french film angle.

Composition:
a lot of pine .. and little focus on the woman .. I think that it may have worked slightly better if more of the focus had been on her .. a little bit of a tighter crop.

Subject:
Meets the challenge.

Technical (Colour and light):
Nice DOF ... interesting crisp colours...

To grow its vote?:
I think that focusing a little more of the woman ... overall the shot is good and did well .. but I just feel that I want to see more of her.

Summary:
Good on you ... well done.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

Nice one - the number of comments alone make it worth it. As one said, It 's a Holy Place I can relate to. Me too.

I gave this picture a 9 in the voting. My favourite sort of holy place and with someone appreciating the special qualities of the natural world. I'm sorry not many other voters felt the same way but I'm not surprised ;)

Well done! Would have liked to see the model a bit closer, though. Still would have retained the dancing in the trees theme I think.
