Nice entry for this challenge! I am very surprised that it did not rank higher. I am also surprised that there are so few comments. Overall, I really like the way that the picture is "framed" by the trees. The model is nicely posed, and I actually like the lens flare. The photo could perhaps be cleaned up a bit (Discoloration on the left, sky noise, flare "ring", etc.), but then it would not follow the rules. I gave it an 8.
