This image of Bianca represents the joy and colors of Autumn in sunlight.
I'm interested in all kinds of critiques, composition, lighting, PP, etc.

Altho I do like the lighting that you achieved here, I'm not a huge fan of her pose. It isnt incredibly flattering to her nose

Love love LOVE the photo!!
The lighting is incredible!
The only thing I think I would've done is pushed her more to the right side of the frame, showing more of the backgorund. (But I like my photos on extreme like that! )

I wanted a tight frame on a the subject because the BG was not so nice and ii took advantage of the back lighting

The nose ! I' think is fine

I like the lighting you have going on here. Rim/back lighting is always nice when you can get it. I am not too fond of the composition though. The focal point for me seems to be the top of her head, which really doesn't hold much interest for me. I am not a big fan overly "posey" type shots, and I prefer a more candid interactions with the camera. To me there is a fine line, and this just misses the mark for me. You were on the right track as far as the naturalness of it, but I think there should have been a little more interaction. Right now, she is bent over looking at something, but there is no inclination of what she looking at, which adds even more disassociation. There are times when it works, and times when it doesn't, and I am sorry it just doesn't for me.
The technical stuff is spot on though. Exposure, focus, and good use of the light. So you are definitely on the right track. Keep shooting and sharing!
