Greetings from the critique club!

Lots to like in this shot.
A simple but effective pose
A great complimentary serene background
The model is nicely engaged with the camera

It could do with a little more contrast I think but that's subjective.

I think the only reason it didn't do better is because even though its well done it wasn't a whole lot different than a lot of entries. The top entries generally had something just a little extra.

Overall though its a great entry.

Lovely feel to this photo. Very nicely done. One of the few photo's with a strong link between age of subject and the environment and the title brings it altogether. 9/10

I really like your photo. The red jacket, blue jeans and green foliage all provide a good contrast and don't fight one another. I also like the lighting and her expression. I hope this does well in the challenge for you.

Is that an order? Enjoying the Lake.

Great framing and DOF. I would never have thought of it prior to taking the shot, but with the benefit of seeing this shot, I would have chosen tan or green slacks and shoes. Love lady in a beautiful location.

Good comp and pose, but artificial lighting is obvious, detracts from natural scene :( Color balance looks a bit too green/ yellow on my monitor.
