Gorgeous image --- and you brought back some wonderful memories. I spent many happy summers at Camp O-Ongo (now Pali Mountain), which was right near Rim of the World Highway as I recall. Congratulations on a well-deserved ribbon!!
I love it just the way it is.
The open car door, jacket on the roof car slightly angled makes the photo more of an impromptu or more of an in the moment feeling which appeals to me.
If anything would appeal to me more it would of been simply removing the car all together, and have the model ankle - knee deep in the water.
your comment has me wondering how many people think that she is looking out at the sea or water. This was taken at an altitude of about 5000 ft and she is looking out over the top of some dense cloud cover.
thanks for your comment though. I like it this way also. interesting thing though is that this isn't set up. i pulled off the road to look at this scene and this young woman pulled up in front of me, got out of her car turned up her car radio (which was playing Enya or something), then perched herself up on her car for about 20 minutes. I couldn't help but to walk up behind her and steal a few shots.

OK, what would of made this shot better for me is
1. having the door of the car closed
2. losing the jacket/coat whatever off the roof of the car next to the model.
3. Had the car facing directly at us instead of to the left slightly.
