Thank you to everyone that commented on this image. I really appreciate the feedback. Just wanted to add a few comments of my own. Yes, blurring the background would have improved the image, but I did not take this to fit the challenge. I did not even know there was a family challenge when I took this. This was a strictly impromtu session. I went to see my best friend and her son's new home, their first home. I suggested that she take a picture in her new backyard, of her new back yard. So the scenery was just as important to her, to mark a very important time in her life. I agree about the reflection on her lip, hadn't even thought of that as it it didn't bother me or her. So, thank you for your comments and making this my highest scoring image in a challenge, yet.

She is definitely beautiful. I can see she might be a free thinker/independent. I like your composition here, but perhaps you could try zooming in to get a closer look at that face and still get the winding road in the background. NOt sure if you tried that or not. Just a thought.

The freedom to shoot whatever I want. (freedom = independence)

I agree with you. That is how I saw this challenge, freedom to shoot whatever I wanted. I like this image and your angle, but maybe bumping up the contrast just a little would have given it that little extra.
