Focus is very good, and depth of field is used to advantage to separate the subect from the background. The photo looks a bit over-processed by the the halo along the front of the legs, and a little unfinished by the lack of contrast in the trees in the background.
I don't find the bandaid as distracting as some other commenters. It really isn't that large, and bandaids happen. I would rather have had the feet not cut off. Had you been able to get an angle that showed the feet, or hid more of the lower body, I think it may have worked better. Good positioning of the subject otherwise.
Other than the afore mentioned trees, the rest of the lighting and color is very nice. Good skin tones, and nice highlites on the hair.
I love the band AID !!!! --- Since this image isn't really about beauty at least not exclusively - it is about a moment somewhere that looks nice and relaxing - and we all know she's on a cell phone .... And the bandaid keeps her real, much like the cell ... phone. Sometimes we don't like "real" sometimes we do. Here, I do.
