I think there is too much light on her face than the background. Kinda unnatural look. And IMO wind blowing her hair is not distracting. Just my thoughts.

background with bush growing out of her head and pink survey marker (lower right is distracting). You could have set the fill flash output lower too.

thank you guys for the suggestions and everything.
about the lighting and everything. ill try to tone that down a bit.
it was all actually natural light. but i understand wat ur saying tiny.

and once i figure out my camera even more jim. im sure ill be able to do what u suggested lol.
still trying to figure out my camera, well everything about it anyways.

and ken. love what u did to the photo. its very nice. like how u lowered the light on her face,
and everything. the contrast in the back. makes it look like the background is painted and everything.
only thing is i dont really care for the ground behind her being contrasted like that.
but like i said love what u did to the photo though.

thanks again guys. really appreciate it.
