Returning to make comments: I really like the composition of this shot. You have done an excellent job of capturing your model looking playful and happy. The two elements about this shot that I didn't like are 1) the almost surreal-looking green grass in the foreground and (2) the odd, triangle shape extending from her back. The reason the color of the grass didn't work for me is that is such an earthy-natural looking pose. The grass in the foreground took some of that away for me. As for that triangle shape, I'm guessing that it's just her other arm or shoulder, but it just looks very peculiar and I kept looking at it and wondering what it was. I'd much rather be looking at her beautiful smile that thinking, "what is that thing?" When I put my thumb over that portion of the shot, I like it so much more. Good work. Kudos to your lovely model.

a little overexposed, the grass is too saturated

Excellent image. One of the best in the challenge. I like the toning and your choice to include all the hair in the composition. 10

Bold, but too centered.

Her ears and earrings distract from the idea of hope.

i like the mood of this picture, though, i would have put her head a little further to the right, and her face turned a little more toward the camera.
