Giving this my third highest vote along with two others.
The look on her face is serene. Like there's not a how or a why in the world. Just floating along where ever the current may take her.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

A shot with lots of potential, but the soft effect created by the screen is just a bit too much - like Juli says, the overall sf makes me want to rub my eyes. Sadly this discourages it from being looked at too long, because there is lots about this photo to like - nice backlit foliage, cute subject, decent comp. Without the screen, which can also cause your AF to mess up, you could have got the shot and then used Gaussian blur to create the dreamy effect. But live and learn.

One thing I've tried that works quite well, so I don't have to shoot through screen when I see birds at the feeder, is this: I have a secondary screen of camouflage netting ( readily available from hunting supply stores) with a slit in the middle so I can put my lens there and shoot. Of course I still have to take down the outermost windowscreen, that's the only drawback. But if you often see shots like this, it might be worth considering.

Keep on shooting and entering!
