I see where you were going with the "grace" in this image. I think the background has as much of a presence as the subject. This image would have much more impact if you were to get closer, keeping the background to a minimum. I do have to say that the woodpile adds a bit of interest to the image.
I don't like that the subject is centered in the frame. Maybe move her or the camera off to one side. The surroundings also seem a bit busy. Maybe crop in tighter next time. I like the soft light falling on her in the shadows, however.
Well, gracious, perhaps, but IMO, a posed shot is rarely appealing. The lady should be more in evidence, as the environment doesn't bring anything to the topic.
