Love her expression - seems very natural - truly happy and relaxed. The framing seems a bit peculiar to me, the lower arm being cut into, but still lots of space on top. Maybe cropping closer on the sides as well as at the top would work better? Lower left corner starting just outside the strap of her top and the shade of the hat, right frame edge just outside her left elbow. On top, cutting into the hat but not the shade would help by getting rid of most of the bright spot of sky in the upper left corner, which as it is, kind of pulls your eye by virtue of its relative brightness. Maybe - don't know, but worth a try? --Olaf

I think you need to set the black point more aggressively. The shady part of a black felt hat should be close to 0 in my opinion. -- Victor
