This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition:
she's placed nicely in frame, with the rocks framing her quite nicely on both sides

color: love the color of her dress, and stands out against the sand

contrast:
a little more contrast could have been added to the shadows of the rocks and to further separate her from the dirt/sand

focus:
from what i can tell, its a little over sharpened in a few spots (i.e. the branches), but on her face its fine. good job though for this being a candid

depth of field:
not much, maybe the contrast would have helped further it deeper.

lighting
: The harsh lighting add to the barren feel to the image, nicely captured.

other:
this image has a lot to say. It may have been a little too abstract for the voters though, as I agree with a commenter before i, this looks like dirt, not sand. But, in that defense, dirt is a type of sand, just dirtier. Anyways, i applaud you for capturing such a good image on the fly, especially the composition, its really good. i hope to see your portfolio grow, you seem to have an eye for special moments like this. If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me anytime, i'll be glad to reply.
-Kari Ann

Nice compostion with the vertical women and hte diagonal path. The wood pile kind of distracts. The "sand" is not really emphasized here as it looks mostly dirt-like.
