The composition is too much in the center and the busy background is distracting. As for the month, well I September doesn't jump out a me. 5

The bright areas in the background seem to distract from the central subject. Nice focus on the subject and I like the depth of field.

One thing I like to do before I use USM, especially wth lots of tiny details (like leaves, branches, grass) that are not part of the subject, is this: Mask around the subject so that the main thing that gets sharpened is the subject. That way the uninteresting details don't get sharpened. I think this image could benefit from that. It appears that USM oversharpened the grass. The girls is PERFECT however! Good luck in the challenge!

Great pic. Seems like you might have used a cooling filter? Seems a little blueish?

This is a very sweet photo. The young girl appears to be totally engrossed in what she's doing rather than trying to pose for the camera. Two areas in which I see room for improvement: there appears to be a green cast to the color, and cropping it a little closer on the right. The cropping is just a matter of taste, but I definitely would have scored it higher if the colors had been better adjusted.

Great lighting and a very cute model. Only complaints are the tight crop on her left hand and foot, and slight green cast on her face.
