Very nice image, the focus is excellent near your subject. THe lighting is wonderful, gives a country feel to the piece as well as a freshness. Lovely woman, very natural looking - fits the image well too. Nice job! 8
Lighting really is beautiful here. It gives colour and warmth as well as light. The way it catches on the model's hair is particularly appealing. However the content of the image doesn't grab me. The pose of the girl feels unnatural, I'd prefer a (faked) walking position. The trees, trunks and shrubs within the frame are somewhat messy, the shapes they form don't make for a particularly good composition, in terms of light, shadow and form. I do like the diagonal of the road surface but the actual colour of it feels out of place.
I love the lighting. It's to bad you did not have more room to work with. By this I mean bringing the subject further from the tree line and blur more of the background out.
I definately woud have cropped the rocks/road out of the foreground and maybe a little more off the left side.
...take me home...to the place...I belong...Well, well, well. Nice model, and I feel the light here serves to bring focus to her and to her somewhat pensive emotions. She sticks out because of her different tones (black and blue of clothing), and the light amplifies your communication of what she is feeling. I think.
