Massively underrated in my opinion. This was a seven from me. A well-executed shot, that has come down low only because of limited interpreatation of the theme, I expect.
I like the shot, but I think your decision to selectively highlight it detracts a bit from it. I think the bright purples of the lavender (I think?) might have added to the flowery nature of the shot.
nice colors and the pose is lovely! the road, the house and the trees on the background are a bit distracting - maybe clone them out? anyway it's a wonderful photo and idea!
