Thank you, alexeig and rod. Rod, I'm not sure exactly what you're suggesting about the wall, but I have to admit that the plants and small bits of bushes in the foreground have been problematic. I've cropped a good portion of them out and even tried cropping them out completely, but then the image seemed to lack balance and proportion. I just wish the sun had been a bit higher so that it would have hit more of her body.
Great shot, Mary Anne. Both the pose of the lady and the composition speak worlds to me

Very good Mary Ann & on topic to boot:-) The only change for me would be to clone or really heavy burn in of the green foliage & sunlit wall. That leaves the focal point extremely strong & the added impact of the sunlight on her slacks & on the road. This is definitely a blokes shot, well done honorary mate.
