Overall, the editing is spot on. Is it just me, or does the girl have a lot of freckles? If so, maybe it would have made more sense to emphasize them.
The hands look light and natural, but it's not very clear. But it's an interesting photo; you can take a closer look.

Alena Biryukova, Aleksander Pasyura, thank you, thank you))Alexey Zhaleiko, Yes, there are a lot of freckles, I emphasized them in another photo, but the model didn't really like them (she doesn't really like them)))Novaya, what's wrong with the background? The forest and the river aren't intrusive))) She's sad in the frame, but happy off-screen)))

Bogdan Chernyak, Well, for a model, that's one thing. But you can make a separate version for yourself and the website. :))

This work creates a good mood—the model is emotive, the simplicity is incorruptible, etc.—but there are some minor technical issues that prevent the work from fully realizing its potential:
- The background is busy, distracting...
- The model is positioned centrally...
- The model is positioned frontally (unjustified, in my opinion...)
- The backlight (reflector) is positioned below, creating an unnatural shadow...
- The water, possibly overexposed
- The color scheme is questionable (in my opinion)

That's about it.

BVSt, Oh...thanks) about the shadow near the nose, yes, we used a flash on one side and a reflector on the other, and all this was done at sunset against the sun, that's why there's such a shadow)))PSP_, thanks))
