I like that you made such a different interpretation of the challenge. This was a nice break from close-up flower photos. Plus, it's a nice portrait. It will be interesting to see how others respond.
in this challenge I would have preferred to have seen MORE flowers less girl...that being said...I do like the candid portrait of this...but that's not where I want my focus on in this challenge
I think it would've been a better challenge fit for you to switch your entries of the 2 current challenges. The reasoning for this is because in this image, the sun lighting is more profound and fits the sunrise/sunset: Look the other way, better; whilst in your entry for that challenge, the flowers were more accentuated.
With that put aside, I really like this image and think you used the "soft" feature much better.
