Subject too centred in the frame for my taste, otherwise great composition. I love how the eye is drawn in to the girl by the wooden 'spokes'. Great portrait. Perhaps if she was off centre and if you'd made more of the foreground leaves this could have been improved. 8

I played with this a little in photoshop and this is how I like it best... I rotated it by 2.16 degrees counter clockwise. I then cropped it in from the left to excluse all the foreground flowers at the front. (Not because I don't like those but because I wasn't keen on the centred composition). I also cropped up from the bottom. Anyway, I like the photo a lot and hope you wont take offence at my messing around with ideas for it. The copy I took has now been deleted from my hard drive completely.

This is a good shot. Subject is centered perfectly...like the black and white, makes lines stand out more.

Nice composure, did you look at a light blur for mood effect?

the flowers on the right of the frame are distracting. a tighter crop of the frame would have been better.

nice shot, i would like to have seen the girl off-center and a little more contrast.

Awesome portrait!
The garden aspect is vague though, maybe adding color to the flowers/foliage or at least see if you can work on the blown out highlights.

The balls a nice subject and the lighting is very good, i'm not sure you needed the hand in there as well. Good luck
