There are balloons in this shot?

Oh look, there they are, I was looking at something else...

Anyway, this is a good idea and a pretty good image to boot, I like the idea. You're lucky to have such a model. Hopefully, you can shoot her again.

On the technical side, a reflector or a touch of flash to fill some light into the shadows on the model (and the balloons too) would help make it really pop. Just don't overdo it or it starts looking cheesy. While I like the idea with the title and the setting, the fruit trees in the BG should be more prominent/evident. Perhaps getting closer to one of the trees to make the fruit bigger, using only orange/yellow balloons and/or having the model wear orange/yellow to tie the three elements together.

Anyway, that's my $0.02, YMMV

NO Comments?? Not the best of the 328, but certainly not 239th, IMO. Strange. Very strange.
