well, this sure beats the version of mother nature in an lazy-boy, nursing a sixpack. oh, wait, i confused her with father earth. splendid image, if a little blown out on the right. the softness is appealing. hope this does well for you. good luck!

Centered composition seems unimaginative. Skin tones a little purple, the white balance needs to be on shade/cloudy to counteract this. Nothing seems sharp. Bad flare at top right. Not sure about square crop. Too much clutter in background, eye is not sure where to settle.

nice idea but we think that it looks too made up.

Pretty model. Nice idea. The colors look a little off.

gone to lots of effort, but let down by background, not woodland, more garden i think

for a photo going for nature, or "the natural", I would clone out the tatoo on the foot.

nice idea, i think it could do with a softer focus, perhaps a bit more light on the subject.

I think you could emphasize the nature aspect more in balance with the "mother" aspect by addidng a sense of depth to the image. Perhaps putting the chair on an angle and off center... There's also a significant chunk of blown highlights in the hair which distracts from the overall image.

I like it a lot! Lovely idea, model, posture, props, lighting. Mother Nature, you're beautiful.
