I really like this photo. The mood transfers to the viewer very well. I got really sad when I looked at it, and to me that's one of the signs of a great photographer. Great job!
Excellent. Feelings emanate from this photo and the girl with the help of the interesting fence accessory and subtle Cross in her hand. Nice touch with the blurry foreground flowers which make it feel like I'm watching but not noticed. Keep up the good work.

nice shot. being black and white tho i think it needs a bit more contrast to make the dark areas a bit darker, altho the stone on the floor are a bit over-exposed already.
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.

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.
