Greetings from the Critique Club!
First off I love the simplicity of this shot. The ribbon being slightly askew is wonderful, adding interest and giving us some idea as to the girl's personality. I can see why some don't like the braids being in focus and not the ribbon, but in this case I think it works. The lighting is fine for this sort of shot, composition is straightforward and the crop isn't too tight. A more vertical orientation might have made the image more compelling - I'm wondering if we would have seen a school uniform below that fall of hair - or more contemporary clothing.
Either way it looks like you know what the KISS principle is, so make the most of it! Please keep on shooting and entering.
Feel free to PM me,
