I know its a rule not to have body parts that disappear or appear missing but is this one of the exceptions to the rule? Other comments and suggestions welcome also.

the increased saturation looks good with the flowers and her hair, but not so good on her skin and lips.

I don't think it matters that some parts of her are beneath the flowers, thats what the shot is about. Apart from that good shot, nice comp and I like how her hair contrasts with the green.

Fabulous shot; I'd just suggest raising your "curves" level in post processing to brighten everything up a tad. I always love bluebonnet photos.

Beautiful model and the choice of colors work well together.

Agreed.

To pop the color of the background without affecting you model, do it on a duplicate layer, then erase back over your subject. Easy-peasy!
