Second shoot ever with a model. I think the images turned out well! There are others that I thought were much better but this worked the best for the rule of thirds. Hope I get some good feedback from this.

I planned to comment on this shot either way, so I'm so glad I got this one to critique! :)
I loved the series you did and this was one of your stronger choices. The problem as I see it with this image is that there are two very distinct subjects; the woman and the trees on the hilltop. The eye gets lost. The solution would have been to draw the interest strongly to one or the other, but not both (I would have chosen the woman). Remember, the eye automatically looks for the brightest point in an image and use that. In this case brightening her and darkening the sky would have been enough to shift the balance. Fill flash or post processing would both achieve that, but flash would have been best.
This shot was so ALMOST great. With a little more attention to light you'll have epic shots. Great of your friends to play along! :D
Somehow I think this shot would have had a bigger impact on me had her pose/stance either been a bit more agressive or "zen", it´s somewhere in between and doesn´t seem to me to be very well thought out. Also having her directly under the tree is maybe not the best choice, had you taken a couple of steps to either side and had her in a lower corner and the tree in the opposite upper corner I think the composition would have been much more balanced. Good shot anyway and above average in the challenge, gave a 6.
