I wanted to do B&W but it just wasn't working with the jacket on and those vivid colors. The flowers were her idea.

The color and lighting is excellent in this photograph. Composition wise, I think I would have preferred more sky and less ground. Although both components have a strong interest, I personally like the cloud more than the texture of the field.
This shot has so much more potential. You could have made the sky more dramatic with dodge and burn. Perhaps converted it to black and white. It would have give it alot more drama. But good composition.
