Lovely, wistful smile. I love her expression, body language, and the overall composition (with her leaning on that big rock). The background is nicely OOF; lovely bokeh. The rendition is a bit flat - could use a bit more "punch" - but that doesn't detract from a gorgeous portrait. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
