Beautiful composition. Love how the girl is framed between the trees. My only thought is the dark patch in the foreground. Have you considered lightening it or perhaps cropping it?

Melania - the person with the shopping bags makes up such a minor part of the image, it really is more of a distraction in this image than something that contributes to the composition.

If you meant it to be a significant part of the image, I would like to throw one of my favourite quotes from photographer Robert Capa - "If your image isn't good enough, you're not close enough".

I was just wondering if it would be easy for the viewer to spot the girl without the title. Also, would most viewers see the girl as significant to the composition or would they just ignore? The overall composition is finely captured and exposed but perhaps you need to emphasize the girl more if she is the main subject.

Thank you for your suggestions!
