I like the setting and placement of the subject here. Overall, I think this could go maybe a touch brighter, but that's my main nit. I love the head turn and pose.

Great framing with the vegetation. Pose and comp are also great! Slight brightening may help.

Beautiful shot Shawn! I agree with Kari, 1/3 - 1/2 stop brighter would be favourable.
