This is a lovely view, it puts me in mind of the enchanted forest from Legend, I can imagine a pair of unicorns wandering out through the trees. Very pretty shot.

Technically, this is very well done from the exposure through the processing and the lighting is spot-on. Very well done.

Your model may be a bit young to "be" Rapunzel, but I'd say she's perfect as a little girl playing out the role in "pretend". The biggest issue is her expression. "Rapunzel" doesn't look too happy to be rescued. I know from experience that getting 4 year olds to pose is a challenge, but, unfortunately, this one doesn't quite make it.

The only other thing I can think of is that the background is a nice combination of spring-like colors, but Rapunzel was imprisoned in a tall castle tower. It's really a minor, but noticeable disconnect.

She's pouting! But then I guess when one is locked in a tower there's not much else to do. Dreamy processing works well and having the end of her hair out of the frame lets me imagine it really is insanely long.

Wasn't Rapunzel a bit older than this? Very nice, nonetheless.

Wonderful portrait. Not sure how well it's going to go over in the "story" department with the majority of voters... Good luck.

Great expression on the little girl! :-) I like the use of soft lighting and the colors of this shot really make it idyllic.
